I have a large PR (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18239, for PEP 585) that's failing in the Azures pipeline on Win32 and Win64 only. My trusty assistant who has a Windows laptop couldn't reproduce the failure. Can I buy a hint from someone? Steve?

The relevant failure output is:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_load_dll_with_flags (ctypes.test.test_loading.LoaderTest) [WinDLL('_sqlite3.dll', winmode=0)]
