Summary: [2.0b1 NT4.0] printing non asci char causes idle to abort

Crash confirmed in IDLE on Win98SE.
Prints (expected) garbage and doesn't crash in command line on Win98SE.
No crash in IDLE or command line on Linux.

Tim, can you take a look with the VC debugger?

Changed group to platform-specific.

Note that this is a simpler test case w/ the same symptom:

print "\327\220"

Don't know why, do know that _tkinter.pyd and tk83.dll crap out w/ page faults at the end, assigned to Fredrik on the chance he's bumped into this before.  /F, bounce it back at me if it's unclear to you.
