This was initially observed in bpo-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?
