[issue3402] test_nis is hanging on Solaris

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

It should not hang anymore, since r84172/r84198. The issue was a GIL-based deadlock: the GIL was acquired and then not released in a callback function, so the next callback caused a deadlock.

The actual cause was a non-ASCII character in the NIS database which caused Unicode creation to fail in the callback.
