I just cloned and built CPython default on Windows 7 32-bit (in a VM). The build was successful, but I get crashes when running the regression tests:

test test_capi failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Vinay\Projects\cpython\lib\test\test_capi.py", line 51, in test _no_FatalError_infinite_loop b'Fatal Python error:' AssertionError: b"Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread\n\r\n This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.\nP lease contact the application's support team for more information." != b'Fatal P ython error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread'

test test_faulthandler failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Vinay\Projects\cpython\lib\test\test_faulthandler.py", line 175 , in test_fatal_error 'xyz') File "C:\Users\Vinay\Projects\cpython\lib\test\test_faulthandler.py", line 105 , in check_fatal_error self.assertRegex(output, regex) AssertionError: Regex didn't match: '^Fatal Python error: xyz\n\nCurrent\ threa d\ XXX:\n File "", line 2 in $' not found in 'Fatal Python err or: xyz\n\nCurrent thread XXX:\n File "", line 2 in \n\nThis ap plication has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.\nPlease c ontact the application's support team for more information.'

It's been a few weeks since I built and tested on Windows 7, so I'm not sure what to make of these. I notice that at least some of the Windows 7 buildbots are green, so can someone advise whether there is any special configuring I need to do? I've just built from the solution file (using Visual Studio 2008 SP1).
