Does the test also fail if you run it as "python Lib/test/regrtest.py 
test_format"? If not, does it fail if you run it as
python Lib/test/regrtest.py <all test cases that are executed before
test_format> test_format? If yes, please try to eliminate all prior
test cases that don't contribute to the failure, and report the
minimum sequence of test cases needed to make it fail.
