Thanks.  I thought it was something more exotic.  I increased the memory
from 4 M to 10 M and got the following:

<cut>
test test_threaded_import skipped --  can't run when import lock is held
<cut>
131 tests OK.
6 tests failed:
    test_descrtut test_longexp test_sha test_socket test_time
    test_zlib

SystemExit: 1

It looks fine except that the test_threaded_import was skipped.
