This turns out to pass without PYTHONHASHRANDOMIZATION in the environment, and fail intermittently with it.

Note that "make test" invokes the built python with "-E", so that it ignores the setting of PYTHONHASHRANDOMIZATION in the environment.

Barry, Benjamin: does fixing this bug require getting the full test suite to pass with randomization enabled (and fixing the intermittent failures due to ordering issues), or is it acceptable to "merely" have full passes without randomizing the hashes?

I think we at least need to identify (to the best of our ability) the tests that fail and include them in release notes. If they're easy to fix, we should fix them. Maybe also open a bug report for each failure.

http://bugs.python.org/issue13903 causes even more tests to fail, so I'm submitting bug reports for most of the failing tests already.
