Command line: (longexp crashes purify for some reason) ./python -E -tt ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -u network -x test_longexp.py

Results: 168 tests OK. 1 test failed: test_socket_ssl 15 tests skipped: test_al test_bsddb test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dl test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_nis test_ntpath test_openpty test_sundry test_winreg test_winsound

test test_socket_ssl crashed -- socket.sslerror: SSL_CTX_new error

When running test_curses:

test test_curses crashed -- _curses.error: curs_set() returned ERR

Uninitialized Memory Reads (don't think these are python's fault):

gdbm_open()	gdbmmodule.c:68 
getaddrinfo()	socketmodule.c:636

Memory Leaks:

NONE

Potential Memory Leaks:

1012 from 4 different allocating points -- all in WeakRef

Things look great!

Let me know if any of the skipped tests ought to have been run. Most likely possibility seems to be bsddb, sundry also needs bsddb.
