test_posix is consistently failing on the bigmem buildbot:

http://python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/AMD64 debian bigmem 3.x/builds/291/steps/test/logs/stdio

"""

I assume that's because the buildbot tests run with a UID without any corresponding pwd entry (which is legit).
The attached patch should fix thoe failures, by making the tests more robust.
