I'm pretty sure that the bug would affect MSWindows.  I
don't know how to make the test work without sending a
signal, such as signal.alarm() or os.kill(), which don't
seem to be available on other platforms.  I've marked the
test with XXX and a comment as requested.  I've posed the
question on python-dev.  Should I ask there for specific
help writing the test?

The test in this version of the patch has fewer race
conditions (and reports the bug differently) than the
previous test.  The functional part of the patch is unchanged.
