They are broken on Ubuntu Linux, i386 and UCS-4 build for me, too. The
failures in doctest, profile and cProfile are caused by additional calls
to utf_8_decode. They were introduced by the patch from me and Alexandre
but we don't know how to fix them.

I've a fix for one of the two failures in test_email in one of my
pending patches.
