Here's the checkin comment. See test/README for an expanded explanation if the following isn't clear:

Another new test using "from test.test_support import ...", causing subtle breakage on Windows (the test is skipped here, but the TestSkipped exception wasn't recognized as such, because of duplicate copies of test_support got loaded; so the test looks like a failure under Windows instead of a skip). Repaired the import, but

    THIS TEST *WILL* FAIL ON OTHER SYSTEMS NOW!

Again due to the duplicate copies of test_support, the checked-in "expected output" file actually contains verbose-mode output. I can't generate the correct non-verbose output on my system. So, somebody please do that.
