Log message for revision 26074:
Merge revision 26067 from the trunk:
Re-write test to allow re-running in a loop.

This test assumes that a module from the standard library has not been
imported, which means it is very fragile and could be broken by unrelated
changes elsewhere.  Instead, create a temporary module specifically for
the test, and clean it up when the test is done.
