Ambiguous locale.strxfrm

[Tuomas Vesterinen]

This was fixed once in Python 2.5, but in Python 3.0 the bug celebrates
its comeback. The tail of the strxfrm result is ambiguous.

Python 3.0.1 (r301:69556, Apr 14 2009, 14:30:31)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information..... print(locale.strxfrm('maupassant guy')==key1)

I could not reproduce the issue on Windows (I don't have any locale using
utf8) but you should file a bug report at http://bugs.python.org/
