[Python-Dev] regrtest hangs on test_tk_guionly

In the trunk, test_tk_guionly hangs if I run it through regrtest. This
is on a Fedora Core 6 box, without X installed.
If I run test_tk_guionly directly, it exits saying there's no DISPLAY
set, which is what I'd expect:
------8<------------------
[trunk]$ ./python Lib/test/test_ttk_guionly.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_ttk_guionly.py", line 11, in <module>
raise test_support.TestSkipped("ttk not available: %s" % msg)
test.test_support.TestSkipped: ttk not available: no display name and no
$DISPLAY environment variable
[29788 refs]
------8<------------------
If I run regrtest with (or without) -v, it hangs without any output from
test_tk_guionly:
------8<------------------
...
OK
test_transformer
Test multiple targets on the left hand side. ... ok
----------------------------------------------------------------------

test_ttk_guionly
<hangs here>

I'm not seeing a problem in the py3k branch. There, test_tk_guionly is
skipped:
------8<------------------
test_ttk_guionly
test_ttk_guionly skipped -- ttk not available: no display name and no
$DISPLAY environment variable
------8<------------------
I'm not sure how to further isolate this, since I can't duplicate it
when running the test by itself. I'm mostly curious if anyone else is
seeing this problem. If it's just me, I'll just switch to a Mac, where
the problem doesn't occur (if for no other reason, because ttk is not
available). If others are seeing a problem, I'll spend some time
isolating it.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?
Eric.
