The 3.0 Solaris buildbot keeps hanging on test_nis.

Let's disable it and add it to the release notes.  If nobody steps
forward to fix it, we'll just leave it turned off for the final release.

Does this affect 2.6 as well?  It's hard to tell from the buildbot output.

Ok. I've disabled it in r65888.

Well the test is now skipped on _all_ platforms. This looks wrong.

This test is still disabled in Python 2.7 and 3.1.

I'll close this unless someone gives a good reason as to why it should be kept open.

Closing as no response to msg111668.

No, for all we know, it still happens.

It should not hang anymore, since r84172/r84198. The issue was a GIL-based deadlock: the GIL was acquired and then not released in a callback function, so the next callback caused a deadlock.

The actual cause was a non-ASCII character in the NIS database which caused Unicode creation to fail in the callback.

Thank you, Martin. Reenabled the test in r84735.
