Well, it is rather obvious that you should not be seeing failure with
unchanged master (assuming that you have some reasonably current Python
on your system) and I should not be seeing failure with your patch
(assuming that it tests out on your system: the symptoms are just too
clear to seem dependent on Python version).  So it's likely that some
preinstalled part (assuming both of us worked from clean trees) creeps
into both our operations.  That would be more likely than not a
preexisting problem not caused by your patch but we would still better
fix it before it causes more headaches.
