No, these tests fail on Windows too.  In fact, the problem was
orginally reported against Windows:  see entry #2 in:

    http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1931

What does not fail on Windows is the specific variation you asked me
to try in your comment #2 on issue 1947:

    When you run it by itself, it passes, though. Maybe you can confirm that.

In my comment #3 on issue 1947, I confirmed that:  when I ran the
functional.txt test _by itself_ on Windows, it passed.

For a start, disabuse yourself of the illusion that it acts
differently on Windows than on Linux ;-)
