I think this patch broke test_strptime:

test test_strptime failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mwh/Source/python/dist/src/Lib/test/test_strptime.py", line 156, in test_returning_RE
    self.failUnless(_strptime.strptime("1999", strp_output), "Use or re object failed")
  File "/Users/mwh/Source/python/dist/src/Lib/_strptime.py", line 399, in strptime
    if format.pattern.find(locale_time.lang) == -1:
TypeError: expected a character buffer object

locale_time.lang is None.

Dunno who's at fault here -- strptime?  the test? the locale stuff? --
just being the bearer of bad news.  I also have a bunch of mods in my
tree, but I'm not expecting this to be them.

Cheers,
M.
