Hmmm...  is TestCase a new-style class in 2.3?  Or do classic classes no 
longer use the dictionary returned by the class suite as their __dict__ in 2.3?

If the issue is that TestCase is a new-style class in 2.3, the solution 
would be to move the 'classLevelFrameInfo' assignment to a classic class, 
and change the assert accordingly.  If the issue is that classic classes 
don't use the suite locals as their __dict__ any more, then there is no 
longer a way to test that getFrameInfo() is returning the locals of a class 
suite.
