[issue8963] test_urllibnet failure

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

This looks like a glibc bug to me. I suspect an unauthorized redhat change; I hope Ulrich Drepper would have never accepted a glibc that causes getaddrinfo to implicitly call setlocale - see

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-03/msg00161.html

You might experiment with disabling IDN support in getaddrinfo.
