[pypy-dev] Lingering issues w/my pypy tester

[Scott Dial]

Whether any of these are "bugs" or not is up to you, but they are 
nuissances for my test runs:

* module._stackless.test.test_choicepoint

http://scottdial.com/pypytest/31094/failed/module._stackless.test.test_choicepoint.py.test_choicepoint.html

This test gets stalled while running a subprocess (testing_1.exe) and I 
must manually kill this process for the testing to continue. I haven't 
been able to identify the problem.

* translator.c.test.test_stackless.TestStackless().test_stack_too_big

http://scottdial.com/pypytest/31094/failed/translator.c.test.test_stackless.py.TestStacklesstest_stack_too_big.html

This test causes the boehm gc library to throw and catch an exception 
"Too many heap sections". I suspect this means that the test has indeed 
failed. However, this assertion from the gc library is modal and 
blocking, so it stalls the test run until human intervention clicks 
"ok". I haven't looked deeply into this one.

Otherwise, none of the failures require human involvement to get things 
going again, but there are plenty of other tests which are erroneous 
failures.
