Summary: os.utime() raises bad exception for unicode filenames

Initial Comment:
os.utime handles unicode filenames - but when it raises
an exception, it always uses the 'char *' filename. 
When unicode is passed to this function, the 'char *'
is garbage.

For example:
python -c "import os;os.utime(u'\xe', None)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\x05'

Note the bad filename.  Once this patch is applied, the
output is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'\xe'

The patch is against the 2.3 tree, but still applies
against the head.  I believe this should be checked
into both places (and am happy to do it :)
