By default, tests are prevented from overusing resources like disk space and
memory. To enable these tests, run "make testall".
IMPORTANT: If the tests fail and you decide to mail a bug report,
*don't* include the output of "make test". It is useless. Run the
failing test manually, as follows:
./python ./Lib/test/test_whatever.py
./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_whatever
(substituting the top of the source tree for '.' if you built in a
different directory). This runs the test in verbose mode.
