I built a windows installer and started testing it under WinXP and win98SE a few hours ago, there haven't been any checkins to the release-23maint branch in the meantime except one to gopherlib.

On winXP everything worked (although testlargefile took ages to complete on my notebook), on Win98SE (not the desktop) the testsuite fails in testwinsound (do I need a soundcard for this?) and in testbsddb3.

See my msg yesterday: test_bsddb3 always fails on Win98SE, and that's nothing new (it failed the same ways under 2.3).

test_winsound recently started failing on my Win98SE box too. Don't know why, and ran out of time to dig into it yesterday. I seem to recall it failing the same way for Guido a long time ago. Maybe some MS service pack or update changed endcase behavior -- don't know.
