[issue5464] msgfmt.py does not work with plural form

[Stephen George]

New submission from Stephen George <steve_geo at optusnet.com.au>:

It seems that C:\Python26\Tools\i18n\msgfmt.py does not work with PO
files that use plural form. Get the following error.
ERROR    Traceback (most recent call last):
