I don't get this one -- maybe my machine is too slow. (130 MHz

It's Vladimir's patch which, after each tests, unloads all modules
that were loaded by that test. If I change this to only unload
modules whose name starts with "test.", the test_winreg problem goes
away, and I bet yours go away too.
The real reason must be deeper -- there's also the import lock and the
fact that if a submodule of package "test" tries to import "os", a
search for "test.os" is made and if it doesn't find it it sticks None
in sys.modules['test.os'].
but I don't have time to research this further.
I'm tempted to apply the following change to regrtest.py. This should
still unload the test modules (so you can rerun an individual test)
but it doesn't touch other modules. I'll wait 24 hours. :-)
