FYI, the test fails on my box (32-bit Windows Vista) about 1 time in 3.  Here's 
the latest failure:

AssertionError: 1385160333.612968 not greater than or equal to 
1385160333.6129684

And here's another:

AssertionError: 1385160530.348423 not greater than or equal to 
1385160530.3484235

I can't dig into it more now.  Possibilities:

1. The clock isn't always monotonic.
2. MS uses an insane (non-monotonic) rounding algorithm (to move to a 100ns 
boundary).
3. Python uses an insane (non-monotonic) scheme to convert the time to a float.
