[py-dev] py.test --looponfailing started failing on Windows...

Hi Baptiste, 

thanks for your good report.  Debugging such issues is often 
tedious.  but let's try.  I assume that you have no changes 
to the system or the python version that you are aware of. 

Before doing anything more, please do a "py/bin/py.cleanup"
on your complete project - this erases all .pyc files. 
and check if the problem goes away. 

then ...

Can you go to py/execnet/message.py:43 and add some more info
to the exception string and report back what you get? 

best,
