I know that there are problem with the two new socket tests:
test_timeout and test_socket. The problems are varied: the tests
assume network access and a working and consistent DNS, they assume
predictable timing, and there is a number of Windows-specific failures
that I'm trying to track down. Also, when the full test suite is run,
test_socket.py may hang, while in isolation it will work. (Gosh if
only we had had these unit tests a few years ago. They bring up all
sorts of issues that are good to know about.)
I'll try to fix these ASAP.
