[issue3877] test_fileio fails on OpenBSD 4.4

[Henry Precheur]

New submission from Henry Precheur <henry at precheur.org>:

test_fileio
test test_fileio failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/henry/compile/python2.6/Lib/test/test_fileio.py", line
155, in testAbles
    self.assertEquals(f.seekable(), False)
AssertionError: True != False

Apparently it is expected to "fail" for *BSD systems since darwin,
freebsd and sunos / solaris are not expected to pass this test:

                    if sys.platform != "darwin" and \
                       not sys.platform.startswith('freebsd') and \
                       not sys.platform.startswith('sunos'):
                        # Somehow /dev/tty appears seekable on some BSDs
                        self.assertEquals(f.seekable(), False)

I just added openbsd to the list and the test works. I would also
suggest to add netbsd, since it is very very likely to have the same
behavior.
