Hi,

I committed a significant patch to elementtree, which causes some bots to fail on testxmletree[c]. I'm currently investigating the possible cause of this - and will be disabling a couple of tests in the suite temporarily, since the problems are most likely due to the ugly monkey-patching the testxmletree is based on. Eli That's it, the stable bots are fairly green now. Some Windows failures were there before my commits also (seems like there's instability in some tests, like Locks).

One test in test_xml_etree remains disabled for the time being. I've opened http://bugs.python.org/issue15075 to track this and will continue to investigate. The problem most likely happens due to the monkey-patching done by the test to import the Python and not the C implementation of ET. Since it's the test that is problematic and not the implementation, I've only marked the issue priority as "normal".

Anyone partial to debugging hairy import-related problems, feel free to chime in ;-)
