Ta. I wasn't sure _os.getcwd() returned a full pathname.

The only difference between the importlib results and the normal ones
seems to be that with importlib, test_multiprocessing is skipped,
whereas with the normal import, it fails. The importlib result is

test_multiprocessing skipped -- No module named test.test_support

where the normal result is

test_multiprocessing

My command line was
