By default, this test is working for me on Linux.  I suspect it has to do
with the fact that:

[skip at bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print
sys.getfilesystemencoding()'
UTF-8

By way of testing, I tried:
[skip at bobcat build]$ export LANG=de_DE
[skip at bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print
sys.getfilesystemencoding()'
ISO-8859-1

And the tests still succeeded.  Trying to work with "ascii" as the encoding
results in a 'TestSkipped' exception:

[skip at bobcat build]$ export LANG=C
[skip at bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print
sys.getfilesystemencoding()'
ANSI_X3.4-1968
[skip at bobcat build]$ ./python ../Lib/test/test_unicode_file.py
...
test.test_support.TestSkipped: No Unicode filesystem semantics on this
platform.

I even managed to get my Windows 98 box on the network again, and this also
seems to work for me from current CVS.  I'm really not sure what I am
missing....

Mark.
