[issue9069] test_float failure on Solaris

Sorry, I seem to have wasted a lot of your time here. 

Python was built from a script which applied some patches - including that one that allows _socket to build. Without that (which is not commit to python and I'm told it might not be done this year), its impossible to run the test suite. 

It looks like of the patches has messed up with test_float. 

Unfortunately, if I just apply the patch at issue8852, then the test suite hangs at:

test_posix

It's used 48 minutes of CPU time on a 3.33 GHz Xeon as I write, passing most tests up to test_posix, but hanging there. 

Sorry to have wasted your time. 


BTW, are you able to run the full test suite, or does the test suite simply not run at all? 

Dave
