[issue13703] Hash collision security issue

Dave Malcolm <dmalcolm at redhat.com> added the comment:

This turns out to pass without PYTHONHASHRANDOMIZATION in the
environment, and fail intermittently with it.

Note that "make test" invokes the built python with "-E", so that it
ignores the setting of PYTHONHASHRANDOMIZATION in the environment.

Barry, Benjamin: does fixing this bug require getting the full test
suite to pass with randomization enabled (and fixing the intermittent
failures due to ordering issues), or is it acceptable to "merely" have
full passes without randomizing the hashes?

What do the buildbots do?
