python 2.3a2 Win32 expected failures in regression tests?

[Harri Pasanen]

I've built python 2.3a2 myself on Win32, using Visual C++ 6.0.

When running the regression tests, the following 3 fail:

test_tarfile, test_timeout, test_zipimport

(test_zip passes)
All in all, I have 201 tests that pass, but those 3 fail.

I wonder if this is normal state of the affairs for Python 2.3a2 on
win32, or something in my build that does not click.
