Summary: Unicode problem in os.path.getsize ?

Initial Comment:
I am running on Windows XP 5.1 using python version 2.3.
The following simple code fails on my system.

for dirpath,dirnames,filenames in os.walk("C:/"):
    for name in filenames:
	pathname = os.path.join(dirpath,name)
	size = os.path.getsize(pathname)
	print size, pathname

I get an error from getsize that the file given by 
pathname does not exist.  When it breaks, the
variable "name" contains two question marks, which
makes me think that this is a Unicode problem.

In any case, shouldn't names returned by walk be
acceptable in all cases to getsize???
