this should be alpha-linux, ia64-linux, didn't test any
other OS.

This test 'test_re' doesn't fail for last night's snapshot,
on Linux/ia64 or Linux/amd64. It also doesn't fail for
python2.3 on Tru64. So probably this could be closed as
'fixed'.

(Note, though, that the test 'test_bigcharset' doesn't
really test re.UNICODE very well.)

Hmmm, from the last comment it seems like this problem has
been fixed. Unless I hear otherwise, I will close soon.

Assuming this is fixed based on comments and lack of response.
