This was initially observed in #15745, however, there's a separate problem here.  The current test_utime() on Solaris sporadically (usually) fails along the following lines:

>     self.assertEqual(attr(st0, "st_mtime"), attr(st1, "st_mtime"))
>     AssertionError: 1347752941.275297 != 1347752941.275296

> That is, test_utime() always results in a st1.st_mtime that is
> "off-by-1" from st0.st_mtime.  The precision is well within the
> nanasecond resolution offered by utimensat, so it doesn't appear to be
> the same issue experienced by other platforms.

Run that test in a loop though, and it sometimes passes.  So, there's an underlying bug, somewhere.

Doing "./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_os" for current "default" in Solaris 10 Update 10, I don't see any test failure. I have run it 10.000 times.

I can't reproduce this.

What Solaris 10 version are you using, Trent?

Trent, do you still see the failures on Solaris?
