[Python-Dev] test_socket failures

[Michael Gilfix]

  Ok. I just submitted a patch to SF: http://www.python.org/sf/569697
that fixes the race conditions in test_socket.py (and also documents
ThreadedTest). I've done a make test and it seem to pass through the
regression test. So please test this out on windows for me Guido.
