Whoa.  That has to be a Python bug I think.  You should never be able to
provoke a SystemError, expecially from a built-in.

Are you running your list in French or some other language?  It would be
really helpful to know what 'msg' and 'self.__encoding' is here.  Try
adding something like the following right before the failing line:

	fp = open('/tmp/bug.txt')
	print >> fp, repr(msg)
	print >> fp, self.__encoding
	fp.close()

Then mail us the contents of /tmp/bug.txt
