----
It quickly fails, prints seems garbage and several blanks lines, and hangs.  Ditto for 3.9 and 3.8.  When I ran entire suite, it was still hanging after 50 minutes.

Victor's patch for issue 38325 skipped the tests that failed on Windows, but now the overall test is worse.  One must interrupt with ^C to get the test summary for the suite.
