test_sys failed

[Eno Compton 3]

On a new python 3 installation on a fedora 7 box, I get a test_sys failure.
Here is the console spew. Couldn't find any discussion about this. Suspect I
have fouled up but I don' t know how to proceed. Ideas?

    853 test_sys
    854 test test_sys failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
    855   File "/home/eno/Python-3.1.1/Lib/test/test_sys.py", line 379, in
test_43581
    856     self.assertEqual(sys.__stdout__.encoding,
sys.__stderr__.encoding)
    857 AssertionError: 'ascii' != 'UTF-8'
