[issue8423] tiger buildbot: test_pep277 failures

Some diagnosis information ...

 - happens for 2 tests inside test_pep277: test_listdir and test_normalize
 - happens only for 4 weird filenames (added with #8180)
 - happens only on "x86 Tiger" buildbot ("PPC Tiger" does not report this error)

I've added some lines to regrtest.py to identify each platform:
"x86 Tiger": Darwin-8.10.1-i386-32bit little-endian (OS X 10.4.10)
"PPC Tiger": Darwin-8.11.0-Power_Macintosh-powerpc-32bit big-endian (OS X 10.4.11)

I don't know how the endianness may be linked with this issue.


Failing files (4):
    u'\u0385\u03d3\u03d4',
    u'\u00a8\u0301\u03d2\u0301\u03d2\u0308',    # == NFD(u'\u0385\u03d3\u03d4')
    u'\u0020\u0308\u0301\u038e\u03ab',          # == NFKC(u'\u0385\u03d3\u03d4')
    u'\u1e9b\u1fc1\u1fcd\u1fce\u1fcf\u1fdd\u1fde\u1fdf\u1fed',


One solution is to skip these files on all 'darwin' platforms, without losing more time on this issue.
