Which flavor of Windows?  I have much better luck on Win2K, where the tests
have often passed with no glitches.  The

   DBAgainError: (11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable -- unable
                       to join the environment')

business has occurred every time on Win98SE, although how often, and in
which tests, varies across runs.

Good to know.  I've seen that too, but much less often than DBAgainError on
Win98SE.

What would the parent directory of build/db_home be?  I see no such
directory on Win98SE.
