Summary: os.listdir fails for pathprefix \?\d:...

Initial Comment:
The  function os.listdir() fails with arguments
beggining with \?\... . This is necessary under
windows to switch off pathchecking  for all
Win32-Widecharacter functions. The problem is located
in the posixmodule.

A diff -u will show the solution for this problem:

                                return NULL;


By the way: The functions isdir..isfile...etc also does
not work with the pathprefix \?
