I saw this bug on AMD64 Windows8.1 Refleaks 3.6:
"test test_warnings failed -- multiple errors occurred; run in verbose mode for details"
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows8.1%20Refleaks%203.6/builds/38/steps/test/logs/stdio

The goal is to get a successful "./python -m test -R 3:3 -v test_warnings" run.

Oh cool, my bisect tool identified the bug!

haypo@selma$ ./python -m test.bisect -o bisect test_warnings  test_warnings 
(...)
Tests (1):
* test.test_warnings._WarningsTests.test_showwarnmsg_missing
(...)
Bisection completed in 14 iterations and 0:00:14

So the bug is that test_showwarnmsg_missing() removes the warnings._showwarnmsg attribute, but don't restore it.

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2504 fixes the issue.
