[New-bugs-announce] [issue28059] Windows: test_platform.test_architecture_via_symlink() regression

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

It looks like test_platform started to fail on AMD64 Windows10 3.x between build 1456 (success) and 1458 (failure, 1457 was interrupted or something like that).

The regression may be related to the issue #27932, change 31b7eaff5588.
