[New-bugs-announce] [issue15441] test_posixpath fails on Japanese edition of Windows

[Atsuo Ishimoto]

New submission from Atsuo Ishimoto <ishimoto at gembook.org>:

test_posixpath.PosixCommonTest.test_nonascii_abspath fails on Japanese edition
of Windows.

If a file name was invalid byte character, os.chdir() raises UnicodeDecodeError()
instead of WindowsError.

This is a byte-api issue on Windows, so we may be able to simply skip this test.
