I know. Even the tests are equal. I didn't say that these files are to 
blame, I just said that the test is failing in Python 2.4.1 on Windows.

Well, I've been updating Python from CVS from more than a year now and I 
doubt that this is the problem. After all, Python 2.3.5 is passing the 
regrtests, and last time I checked, so is Python 2.5a0. Python 2.4.1 was 
also passing all the regtests until recently (not sure exatcly when, but it 
could be about a month ago). But anyway, here is how I update my copy of 
Python 2.4 from CVS. Roughly,

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python login
[Enter]
cvs -z7 -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python update -dP 
-r release24-maint python


And it is, more or less, the same way I check out other branches.

I will download the Python 2.4.1 source archieve and to build it to see what 
happens. I'll report back when I am done.


Regards,
Khalid
