+From 4f0bf86eec0ea557b2df31cce28612d5f124a8a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Nils Philippsen <nils@tiptoe.de>
+Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2021 18:35:03 -0500
+Subject: [PATCH] Ignore ephemeral classes in test_all_present()
+
+Fixed a regression in the test suite where the test called
+``CompareAndCopyTest::test_all_present`` would fail on some platforms due
+to additional testing artifacts being detected. Pull request courtesy Nils
+Philippsen.
+
+In some circumstances, ephemeral class objects that are created within
+the scope of a test method don't seem to be garbage collected directly
+on exit. Filter out classes created in test modules.
+
+Fixes: #7450
+Closes: #7451
