Yes I've noticed it too. I've had to kill pythond.exe a few times. I haven't yet had the chance to look into it. I am NOT getting this error on another Windows Python build slave that I am running in-house for play.

The last run on your Win2K slave that got beyond the compile step:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/x86%20W2k%20trunk/builds/16/step-test/0

Looks like it was running test_bsddb at the time, and the test framework gave up after waiting 20 minutes for more output. I had one of those "recently" that waited 20 minutes for output after starting test_shelve, but it's scrolled off the page. Berkeley DB is fishy. Looks like the buildbot doesn't know how to kill a process on Windows either (SIGKILL sure ain't gonna do it ;-)).

The good news is that at least we're not seeing the random segfaults plaguing the Mac slave :-)
