OK, though note that because it's random, I'll have to run it a few
times, and we'll see what shakes out.

Am running with:
$  make test TESTPYTHONOPTS=-R
leading to:
   ./python -E -bb -R ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -l 

BTW, I see:
  Testing with flags: sys.flags(debug=0, division_warning=0, inspect=0,
interactive=0, optimize=0, dont_write_bytecode=0, no_user_site=0,
no_site=0, ignore_environment=1, verbose=0, bytes_warning=2)

which doesn't list the new flag.  Should I add it to sys.flags?  (or
does anyone ever do tuple-unpacking of that PyStructSequence and thus
rely on the number of elements?)
