I worked for a while tracking down a mysterious failure in
test_normalization on my machine.  I eventually discovered that a clean
checkout did not exhibit the problem.  A distclean on my original
checkout did not fix the problem.  By doing a diff I finally figured out
that the NormalizationTest.txt file is (a) downloaded the first time the
test is run and (b) not removed afterward and (c) not removed by distclean.

How I wound up with a truncated file I don't know, nor am I quite sure
what the best solution to this little confusion is.  It seems very odd
that a file is dumped and left in the CWD by a test.

Benjamin fixed this in r73962 by having the test support routine put the
files in Lib/test/data, and adding a rule to the distclean target to
empty that directory.
