Does anyone have a clue about why this test fails only on this platform? The test is question is verifying that URLError gets raised. From the traceback, it appears that there is an uncaught exception (URLError) but it fails in an assertRaises() check for URLError. That doesn't make much sense unless the variable URLError refers to different objects, but both modules use "from urllib.error import URLError". And, of course, the test works fine on other platforms.

It might be a transient error, and a complete cleanup of the tree might fix it. To do so, build a non-existent branch through the web ui, then build the original branch again; this will cause a fresh checkout.

If the error then persists, my guess it's some kind of compiler issue, which can be investigated only with access to the machine.
