Here's a patch fixing test_httpservers failures when run as root (a couple buildbots are consistently failing on this, e.g. http://python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86 FreeBSD 7.2 3.x/builds/2282/steps/test/logs/stdio).
The test is failing for two reasons:
1) test_get does a chmod(0) on a directory, and checks that the server returns an error when requesting a file under this directory: unfortunately, filesystem permissions are ignored by root
2) CGI tests fail because they try to execute CGI scripts, created in a temporary directory: unfortunately, the temp directory is created as root with mkdtemp() (mode == 0700), and the http server changes to user "nobody" before running the scripts => EACCES

You should change "issue #XXXX" with the real issue number now that there's an issue for this :)

I mean that this should be enough to close this issue:

-	-find $(srcdir) -name '__pycache__' -exec rmdir {} '+'
+	-find $(srcdir) -name '__pycache__' -exec rmdir {} ';'

That is, use ';' instead of the unportable '+' instead of changing all cleaning to use find ... | xargs ...
