[issue15398] intermittence on UnicodeFileTests.test_rename at test_pep277 on MacOS X

Thanks, Flávio.  That configuration looks perfectly normal and what I use so that should not be an issue.

Interesting link, David.  I'm not able to reproduce that failure on 10.6.8 using the procedure in the link but I am running 10.6.8 on a virtual machine so that isn't conclusive.  The author says that the problem is fixed in 10.7' so it's not surprising that I can't reproduce it on a non-virtual 10.7, either.  I guess it would be interesting to know if Flávio or Tatiana can duplicate the results of the blog post.  It would also be interesting to know if test_pep277 also fails in the same environment with Python 3.2.

But, assuming the issue is OS-related, I don't see what we should do about it other than possibly adding a comment to the test.  Opinions?
