  I've just built & tested on Caldera 2.3 on the SourceForge compile
farm, and am getting some failures.  If anyone who knows Caldera can
figure these out, that would be great (I'll turn them into proper bug
reports later).
  The failing tests are for fcntl, openpty, and pty.  Here's the
output of regrtest -v for those tests:

bash$ ./python -tt ../Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_{fcntl,openpty,pty}
