We have a Windows XP buildbot for Python 2.7, run by David Bolen: http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Windows%20XP%202.7/
testbsddb3 fails randomly on this buildbot: http://bugs.python.org/issue30778 If that turns out to be an unfixable intermittent failure of two particular functions, then it becomes expected. To keep buildbots green, skip the one that crashes and turn the failure of the other into a skip.
We are committed to support back to Windows 2000 in Python 2.7. In general, that just means "don't commit something that makes the platform unsupportable and accept a patch if somebody fixes something on that platform". In this case, considering that it's a test of a 2.x-only module on an out-of-vendor-support OS, skipping the tests (possibly even the entirety of test_bsddb3) on XP sounds just fine to me.
