I just bring this up since it shows possible problems with testing more
than one version of Python on the same system. If it is a Pygame bug it
is unpredictable and hard to pin down. So please keep a watch for
similar problems. Maybe someone using Python 2.4 and SVN version 1126
of Pygame can run the unit tests ten or more times consecutively to
check if it passes consistently? My installers are available at
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame.htm along with SVN version 1126 of
the Pygame 1.8 documents and examples in compressed and installer form.
Interesting issue. Do you use x64 hardware to test? Maybe it's related by
the Py_ssize_t changes we made for backwards compatibility.
I'll recheck that for my systems and try to find out, what's going on.
