I've moved the other documented regression (using PYTHONDUMPREFS env't
var) from the Py3kStrUniTests page to the new page.  I expect there
are a bunch of options that have problems, since those don't get great
testing.

I've also noticed that since io is now in Python, if you catch the
control-C just right, you can get strange error messages where the
code assumed an error meant something specific.  In my case, I typed
control-C while doing an execfile (before I removed it) and got two
different errors:  SyntaxError and some error related to BOM IIRC.
