Or if using ctypes is ok, perhaps it could be done right in the test
runner.

While I haven't done any local mods to preventthe C RTL boxes,
selecting Ignore on them gets me to the OS level box, and:

Python 3.0x (py3k, Aug 27 2007, 22:44:06) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import test_os
[50256 refs]
>>> test_os.test_main()

dies with popup in test_execvpe_with_bad_program (test_os.ExecTests).  But

doesn't present the OS popup prior to process exit.
