See also bpo-20760 which seems to be a duplicate but doesn't have the full output (stdout is missing).

#20760 reported failures on Linux.  I think one of these two issues should be closed.  FWIW, I ran
f:\dev\3x>python -m test -R 3:10 -m CommandLineTests test_compileall
twice with no failures.

While the issue is rare, I am sure that there is a race condition. The bug
maybe happens when other tests run in parallel.

The test should work in its own temporary directory to no be bothered by
other tests.
