New submission from Jeremy Kloth:

My Windows BuildBot (http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/kloth-win64) is 
hanging in calls to the CRT function setlocale() as determined by attaching to 
the hung test process in Visual Studio.

This has been happening occasionally (every tenth+ build) for quite some time, 
but not to the frequency as of late (every fourth build or so).

I would debug further, however my Visual Studio debugging-fu is not up to this 
challenge it seems.

Pertinent details of the buildbot:
- Windows 7 SP1 64-bit on a quad-core processor
- Running buildbot as a service
- Tests run using '-j4'
- SSD used for storage

Order of the tests do not seem to matter as re-running the test suite using the 
random seed that hung will pass when run from a console on the buildbot.

Locale-using functions in the CRT have internally locking which is what I 
believe is the cause of the deadlock, but cannot determine exactly as this is 
where my debugging knowledge runs out.

Help to diagnose further is greatly appreciated!
