What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Downloaded from SVN today. Ran on cygwin using Python 2.5b2.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently seeing 10 errors in Windows tests with 2.4.2 as well, but have
not yet had time to examine them.

Sorry about the lack of a meaningful summary title.

Unicode isn't my specialty.  Hopefully this project will get some super-powered
unicode developers one day to address this one ;-)  I'll take a look though but 
don't
expect too much :-(

Do post your 10 errors in Windows tests with 2.4.2 in a seperate issue and 
hopefully
I'll be smarter on those issues

• Changed title: Not sure if I can help with this one.

These functions have been removed and encodings tests should run OK now (but 
not by
default, run 'make test-server' to run blackbox tests against server).

Closing because fixed.
