Initial Comment:
import locale
locale.nl_langinfo(0x20032)

This crashes - no stack trace. Smaller constants work.

_localemodule.c has Martin's name at the top of it, so he
gets this.

This would seem to be a bug in some versions of glibc --
nl_langinfo is setting errno and returning NULL.  Fixed just
over two years ago in glibc CVS, but obviously still "out
there".  Worth working around?  Shouldn't be too hard.
