[Python-Dev] test failures in test_ctypes (HEAD)

[Guido van Rossum]

I see test failures in current HEAD on my Google Red Hat Linux desktop
that the buildbots don't seem to have:

./python -E -tt ../Lib/test/regrtest.py test_ctypes
test_ctypes
test test_ctypes failed -- errors occurred; run in verbose mode for details

More details from running this manually:
$ ./python ../Lib/test/test_ctypes.py
.
. (lots of passing tests; then:)
.

This seems libglut related -- I don't know what that is but find /lib
/usr/lib -name \*glut\* produces this output:

/usr/lib/libglut.so.3
/usr/lib/libglut.so.3.7
