[issue18992] test_sax fails on Windows under 3.4.0a2

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters added the comment:

OK, "hg up -C" _can_ work, but it appears to require that "hg stat" shows that the files with the "bad" line endings are modified (M).  That may or may not be the case, depending on lots of things.

Martin, can you verify that (for example) test.xml.out does have \r\n line ends in your tree?  Maybe it doesn't, and the problem really lies elsewhere (unsure - some step in building the .msi, or maybe even the .msi changes line ends during installation - don't know).

I think bad line endings in the tree are most likely, though, since test_sax was failing in the same way for (at least) me and Terry Reddy when building our own Pythons on Windows, before changing .hgeol.
