Summary: test_ioctl fails

Initial Comment:
Test case test_ioctl fails when building Python 2.3 on
RedHat 8.0, but just one one and not another RedHat 8.0
machine.  The initial suspicion was that this failure
may be related to this bug report:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470&func=detail&aid=777867

but that was reported on Debian unstable.  It could
still be a glibc bug that Python is tickling but the
glibc libraries are the same one both machines (at
least there is no difference in the version numbers
from rpm).

  rpm -qa | grep -i glibc
  glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80.6
  glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20
  glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6
  glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6

Does your failure exhibit the same heisenbug-like qualities
as #777867? (e.g. can you reproduce it running tests via
regrtest?  does it fail in isolation?)

Does it fail in the same way, i.e. returning different
numbers from the ioctl() call than the getpgrp() call?

It doesn't fail on my sorta RH 7.2 box, but I'm thinking of
upgrading soon anyway...
