Trent, I was wondering if you could look at some test failures in MS Windows builds. I can't debug Windows issues myself :-(. This is a MS free environment... In these errors I see lots of bsdbd errors, many of the form: _| DBFileExistsError: (17, 'File exists -- fopfilesetup: Retry limit (100) exceeded')

I've had this a few times in the past (Retry limit (100) exceeded)and it has always been caused by cruft left behind by a previous run of the test that didn't end well. Somehow these tests do not do a good job of cleaning up old cruft before they run.
