There are also sporadic test failures on the OSX machine:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/g4%20osx.4%20trunk/builds/345/step-test/0

I think the test is broken - but what I find interesting is that in this case the actual failure
is printed:

"""
test_set
test_ctypes
test test_ctypes failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/buildslave/bb/trunk.4/build/Lib/ctypes/test/test_leaks.py", line 68, in test_cycles_refcount
    self.fail("leaking refcounts")
AssertionError: leaking refcounts

test_long_future
"""

Why is that?
