>Summary: invalid submission

Initial Comment:
The following code will fail in both Python 2.3 and
Python 2.4, raising a MemoryError exception, when run
on any platform except Windows:

compile("# -*- coding: mbcs -*-", "test.py", "exec")

This has been reproduced on the following platforms:

Linux x86
HP-UX
Solaris
Tru64 Unix

I realize this is an invalid encoding but it would be
nice if something other than MemoryError was raised!
