Summary: test_support's run_suite() is broken

Initial Comment:
When test_support.run_suite() runs a failing test, in 
one of the failure branches it can reference 
vrbl "testclass" twice.  But testclass is an argument 
to run_unittest(), and has no value in run_suite().  
So run_suite() dies with a NameError, instead of 
raising TestFailed.

Assigned to Fred, because I vaguely believe he made 
the change so has a good chance of guessing what he 
intended to do instead <wink>.

Sorry, run_suite() wasn't mine, though I've used it.
Fixed in Lib/test/test_support.py revision 1.39.
