Message 90617 - Python tracker

I have created issue6501 for my Windows variant of this problem given that 
it appears to be subtly different due to there being an encoding where as 
the MacOS X variant doesn't have one.

Seeing that the fix for the MacOS X issue is in Python code, I will when I 
have a chance look at whether can work out any fix for the Windows 
variant. Not sure I have right tools to compile Python from C code on 
Windows, so if a C code problem, not sure can really investigate.
