[koobs]

New submission from koobs:

test_expanduser in test.test_posixpath.PosixPathTest fails when the users $HOME ends with "/"

======================================================================
FAIL: test_expanduser (test.test_posixpath.PosixPathTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/home/buildbot/python/3.x.koobs-freebsd/build/Lib/test/test_posixpath.py", line 264, in test_expanduser
    self.assertEqual(posixpath.expanduser("~"), home)
AssertionError: '/usr/home/buildbot' != '/usr/home/buildbot/'
- /usr/home/buildbot

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Test failures can be seen in the following FreeBSD 9-STABLE buildbots on all branches except 2.7:

3.x - http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.0%20dtrace%203.x/builds/1256/steps/test/logs/stdio
3.3 - http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.0%20dtrace%203.3/builds/546/steps/test/logs/stdio
3.2 - http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.0%20dtrace%203.2/builds/490/steps/test/logs/stdio

It is also reproducible outside of the buildbot environment using fresh Python 3.3.1 sources with default build configuration (see attached expanduser.log)

Commenting out Lib/test/test_posixpath.py#l264 results in the test passing
