Windows10 3.x: test_already_running() failed once, but passed when run again:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/3/builds/817/steps/3/logs/stdio

I didn't see this failure recently, I close the bug.

The bug is still here. It looks like a race condition triggered on very slow buildbot like AMD64 FreeBSD 10-STABLE Non-Debug 3.x:

I'll take a look when I get a chance.

I close this issue as a duplicate of bpo-37224.
