[issue4388] test_cmd_line fails on MacOS X

[Roumen Petrov]

Roumen Petrov <bugtrack at roumenpetrov.info> added the comment:

"C locale (alias POSIX, ANSI_X3.4-1968) define is 7-bit char-set.
It is expected mbstowcs to return error is a byte sequence contain a
byte > 128. 

After quick check into code
(http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/py3k/Lib/test/test_cmd_line.py?rev=67193&view=auto)
I guess that failure is from command "assert(ord('\xe9') == 0xe9)" (test
is run only on mac os platforms). For the "C" program run is ascii(C,..)
locale is expected conversion of byte \xe9 to wchar_t to return error.
