Fred, I vaguely recall you touched something here recently, so you're top o' the list. Smells like an uninitialized variable.

1 of 4: test_longexp fails in release build:

C:\PCbuild>python ..\lib\test\regrtest.py test_longexp test_longexp test test_longexp failed -- Writing: '\012', expected: ' ' 1 test failed: test_longexp

2 of 4: but passes in verbose mode, despite that the output doesn't appear to match what's expected (missing " (line 1)"):

C:\PCbuild>python ..\lib\test\regrtest.py -v test_longexp test_longexp test_longexp Caught SyntaxError for long expression: expression too long 1 test OK.

3 of 4: but passes in debug build:

C:\PCbuild>python_d ..\lib\test\regrtest.py test_longexp Adding parser accelerators ... Done. test_longexp 1 test OK. [3962 refs]

4 of 4: and verbose debug output does appear to match what's expected:

C:\PCbuild>python_d ..\lib\test\regrtest.py -v test_longexp

Adding parser accelerators ... Done. test_longexp test_longexp Caught SyntaxError for long expression: expression too long (line 1) 1 test OK. [3956 refs]
