[issue40622] Tests fail with python3.6 built with VS2019

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Runtest itself ran to completion but the 4 tests listed failed.  I suspect that this should be closed as "won't fix" because
A. 3.6 only gets security fixes since Dec 2018.
B. Locally built Windows binaries often fail a few tests, either occasionally or dependably even if the Windows buildbots are green.  Just now, test_import (still, or again), test__locale, and test_locale failed for me with 3.9.0a6+.  This is unfortunate, but it is sometimes not clear whether the bug is in the modules or the tests.
