[New-bugs-announce] [issue3625] test issues on 64bit windows

[Mark Hammond]

New submission from Mark Hammond <mhammond at users.sourceforge.net>:

A number of tests are designed to be skipped on 64bits, but they don't
detect 64bit windows builds as 64bits.  Also, test_bytes.test_repeat()
assumes sys.maxint bytes can't be allocated, which isn't necessarily
true on Win64.

I'm attaching a patch that arranges to skip these tests.
