[Python-Dev] Pleaswe help with the countdown to zero failing tests in the struni branch!

[Guido van Rossum]

Here's a followup.

We need help from someone with a 64-bit Linux box; these tests are
failing on 64-bit only: test_io, test_largefile, test_ossaudiodev,
test_poll, test_shelve, test_socket_ssl.

I suspect that the _fileio.c module probably is one of the culprits.

Lars Gustaebel fixed this except for a few bz2-related tests.

The two OSX tests listed at the time were fixed, thanks to those volunteers!

We now only have an OSX-specific failure in test_csv.
