Built Python-2.4a3 on HP-UX11i.

When running make test, I get the following error:

Sorry, I should have read the bugs page first!

Please disregard this report.

Thanks for report anyway.

After that patch was posted, a couple of other changes were
made. Since you have a system that treats _urandom
differently from the rest of the development machines, it
would be great if you could load the latest version, run the
test, and report the results back here.

The two files attached below.

I copied the two files to my Python-2.4a3 installation and ran
the test - all 37 tests ran OK.
