[New-bugs-announce] [issue2114] test_decimal failure on OSX 10.3

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren:

test_decimal fails on Mac OS X 10.3 when using Python 2.5.2c1. I haven't 
tested other python versions. The same test passes on OSX 10.4 and 10.5 
(both on Intel and PPC machines), this was done using the same binaries 
(the Python.org build for 2.5.2c1).

The end of the output of "python test_decimal.py" is:


======================================================================
