• Version: head
• Platform: Windows
• Subsystem: test

I've been noticing windows tests flapping more than usual for the past few days:

https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-binary-windows-2/3344/COMPILED_BY=vs2017,RUNNER=win2008r2-vs2017,RUN_SUBSET=0/

https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-binary-windows-2/3341/

We could use some help digging into this, it would be a great first contribution.

Getting Started

1. read BUILDING.md for instructions on building for Windows.
2. once you've built Node.js, you can run individual tests simply by invoking (./node test/parallel/test-xyz.js, where test-xyz.js is the test you wish to run).
3. once you're making some progress on a bug comment on this thread, and it will help ensure that other folks don't take the same issue.
4. recent Windows builds can be found here, if you want to dig further https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-windows-fanned/
