[New-bugs-announce] [issue25289] test_strptime hangs sometimes on AMD64 Windows7 SP1 3.x buildbot

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The AMD64 Windows7 SP1 3.x buildbot randomly fails. Tests take a lot of time. I don't know if it's a slow hardware/VM, or if the system is very busy. By the way, regrtest is run with -j4 (run 4 tests in parallel).

Example of errors:
