OK, I've traced this down to a bug in 'platform.system()' -- the latter
assumes a particular format of Windows "ver" command's output, which has
changed in Windows 2003. I'll submit a corresponding bug report, but
meanwhile, the problem can be worked around by installing Mark Hammond's
"win32all" package: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018
(which comes by default with the ActiveState distribution, which accounts
for the fact why we, for instance, don't have the same issue).
Bronek, would it be acceptable for you to install the thing on your
machine? Otherwise we need to patch 'regression.py'.
