New submission from Henry Precheur <henry at precheur.org>:

The function mbstowcs is buggy on OpenBSD <= 4.4:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/locale/multibyte_sb.c#rev1.7

Because of this the following command fails:
./python -E setup.py build

The attached patch fixes the problem.
