New submission from Thomas Wouters <tho...@python.org>:

test_pathlib contains, in PosixPathTest.test_expanduser, a check that 
expanduser on a nonexistent user will raise RuntimeError. Leaving aside the 
question why that's a RuntimeError (which is probably too late to fix anyway), 
the test performs this check by assuming 'fakeuser' is a nonexistent user. This 
test will fail when such a user does exist. (The test already uses the pwd 
module for other reasons, so it certainly could check that first.)
