Fix parallel test on WinXP - wait for resource cleanup.

Fixes #1901

Does setUp run before every test? There's quite a few in that class, so if it's an extra 2s delay on each, it would be quite a slowdown. Is it needed before every test there?

@takluyver -- yes, setUp runs before every test. It does not suffice to delay 2 sec before the first test where the fail happened (the failure migrates). More than that I don't have time to ascertain; it could take quite a bit of trial and error.

Also, recall that the delay will only happen on winXP -- on the available evidence, there are no auto-testers running XP.

[takluyver]

OK, if it's necessary, that's fine. As you say, we don't have many XP testers.

I think we could do with a 'fast test' mode. I'll open a separate
issue for that.

@jdmarch - I think the sleep should probably happen before the rest of the setUp.

[minrk]

Since @jdmarch is our only known XP tester, and this shouldn't affect any non-XP systems, I think this is fine as a band-aid.
