New submission from Anselm Kruis:

I installed Python 2.7.5 including tests using the MSI installer from 
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/python-2.7.5.amd64.msi Running 

python.exe -m test.regrtest -v test_list

consumes all available memory and renders the my system completely unusable. I 
had to reboot. The problem is caused by the test case "test_overflow". If you 
run the test with an imposed memory limit, e.g. by using ulimitnt 
(http://code.google.com/p/ulimitnt/) , test_overflow passes.

I propose to skip this test on Win64.
