What environment are you using to run the debug-mode regression tests? The above four tests run without any problems for me, but I'm just running them in a normal Kubuntu desktop shell. Something in Neal's build which has made a difference before is

Benjamin is correct. See Misc/build.sh for the script that generates this. See http://docs.python.org/dev/results/ for details about the most recent run.
Hmm, even after doing a make altinstall (don't want to mess with the system Python!), I still can't reproduce those failures. I had to give the test suite elevated privileges to get test_distutils and test_tcl to work properly, and this machine has some audio issues that upset test_linuxaudiodev and test_ossaudiodev, but the four tests that are failing in Neal's tests all run fine. Are these being run in a sub-environment of some kind to avoid messing up the machine, and that environment is missing the /dev/* tree from the filesystem? (the particular error being triggered by the test_multiprocessing failure indicates that as a possible cause, and the test_ioctl problem relates to not being able to find /dev/tty). Since these tests are an additional kind of buildbot, I'd really like to see them all passing before rc2 goes out, but I think I've reached the limits of what I can figure out from this side of the Pacific.
