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

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_COLLATE, 'en_US.utf8')

>>> key1=locale.strxfrm('maupassant guy')
>>>> for i in range(10):
...     print(locale.strxfrm('maupassant guy')==key1)
