... testsocketssl test testsocketssl crashed -- exceptions.TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

For closure, I believe this problem was addressed by revs 42842 and 42844 to Lib/test/testimporthooks.py.

Amazingly, the same thing popped up 3(!) times today in the 2.4 buildbot slaves (on two Windows boxes, and the "amd64 gentoo 2.4" box). I merged those revs to the 2.4 branch.

If anyone sees spurious failures with the buildbot (one time failures, crashes, etc), please report the problems to python-dev. It would be great to see if you can reproduce the results with the same tests that failed. We need to determine if it is architecture specific, test-order related, or something else.

One-shot segfaults are still common enough on the Mac box, like the very recent:
