Summary: OpenBSD 3.2: make altinstall dumps core

Initial Comment:
"make altinstall" fails when building on OpenBSD 3.2.   
The core dump appears to happen when the newly built 
python program attempts to byte-compile 
"./Lib/test/test_pep263.py".  A gdb 'bt' shows a 
segmentation fault in a call to libiconv.so.3.0's div() 
function. 
 
This could be a bug in libiconv.so's unicode handling. 
 
Also, running "./python ./Lib/test/test_pep263.py" from 
the newly built python throws an assertation error. 
 
I am using a home-built version of OpenBSD, so I'd 
appreciate it if someone else could verify this. 
 
make altinstall's output: 
 
... 
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.3/test/test_pep263.py ... 
python in free(): warning: modified (chunk-) pointer.
