Summary: hang/crash with Chinese system locales

Initial Comment:
When the default non-Unicode locale is changed to "Chinese(PRC)", PythonWin hangs when any valid command (for example, "x=1") is entered in the interactive window, and crashes when an invalid command is entered ("x" when the variable isn't defined).  The details of the crash dialog are:

Error signature:
AppName: pythonwin.exe   AppVer: 2.6.212.0       ModName scintilla.dll
ModVer 1.7.5.0           Offset: 00009a92

To change the default non-Unicode locale on Windows XP, go to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Advanced tab, and change the item "Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use:"  to "Chinese (PRC)".  Remember your old setting!  Click OK, then reboot for it to take effect.  You may be prompted to insert your Windows XP installation disk to install the required Asian support files.
