I've decided to postpone the 2.3 release candidate 1 until Friday. Given the errors reported with current CVS on Cygwin, I don't expect that this release candidate stands much chance of becoming the final release. So I'd rather wait a little and see if anyone can make headway on the Cygwin problems. If we can fix something tomorrow, all the better. If not, we've only lost a day.

I also checked in a probable fix for the problem Tim reported when running test_strptime, test_logging, and test_time in that order. I'm not confident that the fix is correct. Basically, it tries to restore the locale to its original value when test_logging finishes. Can someone who understands locales review that change?

Please continue to avoid checkins on the head unless the changes are both trivial and critical <0.5 wink>.
