Trace/BPT trap error on OSX with unicode path

[parente]

If the path given to Observer.schedule() is a unicode string, Python crashes with a Trace/BPT trap error.

Can you please provide a traceback, and the unicode path that was in use
when it failed?

[parente]

There was no trace. All that printed at the console was "Trace/BPT trap error".

Also, the path contained only ASCII characters. Any Python unicode string, even if it can encode to ASCII, causes the crash. For example, u"/Users/parente/watchme" will crash Observer.schedule() but "/Users/parente/watchme" will not.

I've attempted to fix this in git HEAD reading
Mac OS X specific information from
http://boodebr.org/main/python/all-about-python-and-unicode

Please close this issue if git HEAD fixes it for you.
Thank you. =)

It appears to be fixed. Thanks.
