Thanks for testing this!

Oops, yes: Py_MIN is only present in "default" [it was added to
Include/Python.h (as PY_MIN) in 72475:8beaa9a37387 for PEP 393, renamed
to Py_MIN in 72489:dacac31460c0, eventually reaching Include/pymacro.h
in 72512:36fc514de7f0]

"orig_size" in win32_urandom was apparently unused, so I've removed it.

I also found and fixed an occasional failure in my 2.6 backport of the
new test_os.URandomTests.get_urandom_subprocess.

Am attaching 4 patches containing the above changes, plus patches to fix
dict/set ordering assumptions that start breaking if you try to run the
test suite with randomization enabled:
   add-randomization-to-2.6-dmalcolm-2012-02-01-001.patch
   fix-broken-tests-on-2.6-dmalcolm-2012-02-01-001.patch
   add-randomization-to-3.1-dmalcolm-2012-02-01-001.patch
   fix-broken-tests-on-3.1-dmalcolm-2012-02-01-001.patch

2.6 also could use the dict-ordering fix for test_symtable that was
fixed in 2.7 as 74256:789d59773801

FWIW I'm seeing a failure this failure in test_urllib2, but I also see
it with a clean checkout of 2.6:
