[issue1503] test_xmlrpc is still flakey

The current buildbot has errors similar to this one (I assume):

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 53126)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ralf/trunk/Lib/SocketServer.py", line 281, in

    data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)

----------------------------------------

 

The problem is that the test calls
 
 serv.socket.settimeout(3)

in the http_server function. This implicitly sets the server socket to
nonblocking state.
The accept call then returns a socket object, which
- is blocking on OS X 10.4 ppc
- is nonblocking on linux

I can easily reproduce that on my mac mini g4 with python 2.6.
