See my msg yesterday:  test_bsddb3 always fails on Win98SE, and that's
nothing new (it failed the same ways under 2.3).

test_winsound recently started failing on my Win98SE box too.  Don't know
why, and ran out of time to dig into it yesterday.  I seem to recall it
failing the same way for Guido a long time ago.  Maybe some MS service pack
or update changed endcase behavior -- don't know.
