 My system make is a form of bmake. I had to run gmake to execute your
 tests. However, the result is apparently success:

 Ran 63 tests in 5.852s

 PASSED (successes=63)

 In doing so, I have found that the default, lone python interpreter was
 actually different from the one I was manually using to build and install
 tahoe. Additionally, my tahoe installation is installed system-wide. I
 will (hrm.. manually?) de-install it and try again with a proper symlink
 from /usr/pkg/bin/python to python2.5. (Long shot with no evidence, I
 know.. but still.)

 Nope. Same problem.

 I'm sorry I don't know more about Python or I would be a *lot* more useful
 to you.
