I had something similar happen in the Carbon IDE on 9.1 (installed via 
the active installer).  While test.autotest was running, I tried 
clicking on Finder's desktop.  It didn't switch out, so I clicked in the 
menu bar, window title bar, and maybe a few other places.  When it got 
to the end of the test, the Python output window came up with a message 
(Doh!  Forgot to save it off.) and suddenly, I had two sets of menus.  
The normal menus were followed by another Apple menu (in about the 
middle of the menu bar), File, Edit, Python, and Windows.  I quit the 
IDE and tried to reproduce it, but haven't been successful yet.

A few of the tests fail due to memory problems.  Bumping up the default 
partition size fixed all but test_longexp.  This happened with 2.1, and 
I think you mentioned on your web page that the memory errors were to be 
expected (on Mac OS 8/9 at least).

I'm in the middle of trying Mac OS X 10.0.4 and Mac OS 8.1 right now.
