Summary: struni: assertion in Windows debug build

Initial Comment:
When running Lib/test/test_descr.py with a Windows debug build, I get an assertion in the MS runtime lib, in the isalpha(*p) call, file typeobject.c, line 1582.  The value of '*p' at the time of the call is 4660.

The assertion reported is:

File: istype.c
Line: 68
Expression; (unsigned)(c + 1) <= 256

Right, this should have been *p > 255, even better would be *p > 127.
Thomas, can you try that on Windows?

I wonder if the test "i > 255" wasn't meant to be "*p > 255"?  Please try
that, and submit if it works.  Looks like Walter Doerwald introduced this
bug in r55892.
