Barry says you need to do the following to truly test the patch:

- check out the head
- make distclean
- apply the patch
- autoreconf
- ./configure --with-pydebug
- make test

Apparently autoreconf regenerates something for autoconf and 
that has to be done.  Learn something new everyday.  Can you 
give that a shot, Torsten?  If that still fails it is going to take some 
work to figure this one out.

no, sorry, no success!

 * re-compiled python, as expected the test failed again.
 * patch -p0 <../tzset4.diff
 * made a "make distclean"
 * ./configure again, looked nice, no chached stuff.
 * make 
 * make test
 >>> failed again !!!

anything i could check to help?

Tonight, test_time also failed for me and then worked on the 
next pass.  Am using WinME and Py2.3b2+.

Torsten, can you please try the patch that Neal pointed out?  We 
are approaching the release of Python 2.3 (by the end of the 
month) and it would be nice if this bug was settled before it goes 
out.

If you are referring to bug #763047 and its cohort #763052, then 
no, I don't think so.  Those I think were an actual bug in the code.  
But there *is* a possibility since _strptime does call time.tzset 
when it calculates what timezones it knows about.

I am unassigning from myself since I have never touched 
time.tzset (don't remember who wrote time.tzset off the top of my 
head but it is a Python 2.3 feature).

Brett, is this related to the other failures?

What OS are you using?  Redhat 6.2, perhaps?  Can you test
patch 762934?  http://python.org/sf/762934
