Summary: unicodeobjct: bad argument to internal function

Initial Comment:
[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/239986]

#! /usr/bin/python2.3
import unicodedata
unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', u'')

I guess (but haven't looked at the source) that
something isn't cleaned up properly in this scenario. 
The bug doesn't manifest itself in the normalize() call
itself but the exception is thrown in the next
statement.  (eg running  unicodedata.normalize('NFKC',
u'') ; x = 1 interactively causes the error to be
printed after the x=1 statement)

The x=1 doesn't seem to be needed, simply hitting
return shows the message.
