Dunno, but add to the pile of mysteries that you're unique.  Here on
Win98SE:

python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_ucn
test_ucn
test test_ucn crashed -- exceptions.UnicodeError: Unicode-Escape
      decoding error:
 Invalid Unicode Character Name
1 test failed: test_ucn


python ../lib/test/test_ucn.py
UnicodeError: Unicode-Escape decoding error: Invalid Unicode Character Name


I suggest you reformat your hard drive, and reinstall Windows <wink>.
