The macostools error (bug #763708) is still happening and I still think it could be an OS X bug and not ours. This is still happening and I am working with Jack to solve this.

It turns out Brett was using an ucs4 build of Python, and the bug is related to that. So I've lowered the priority and changed the title. If someone sees the bug in a normal Python build or someone has good reason to find the bug critical even if it only affects ucs4 builds: please raise the priority again. But this won't be a trivial bug to fix (basically I think I'm using the pointers straight out of the PyUnicode objects and passing them to Apple routines, so fixing it would require allocating temporary buffers and all that jazz).
