Issue1944

Opening of e.g. /dev/null or /dev/zero with "w" mode fails in non-English locales.
("Argument invalide" is "Bad argument" in English locale.)

$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" jython2.5 -c 'open("/dev/null", "w")'
$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" jython2.7 -c 'open("/dev/null", "w")'
$ LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" jython2.5 -c 'open("/dev/null", "w")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: Argument invalide
$ LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" jython2.7 -c 'open("/dev/null", "w")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: Argument invalide

Arfrever: does this still fail for you? I know we've made some locale fixes so maybe this has been addressed?

Bug is still present.

This bug causes test_os (test_devnull) to fail.

The following codintion fails:

Errno .EINVAL .description() .equals (ioe .getMessage()))

where ioe is an IOException caused by the fact that you cannot truncate a device.  The condition is used to suppress the exception.

Now, (Errno .EINVAL .description()) is in English and (IOError .getMessage()) is in Polish so they cannot be equal.  I think the code is overzealous here and the additional check should be removed.

File: FileIO.java, Line 217

Please fix :-) please please please <:-(

Note that the Errno class used is not a standard Java construct and the descriptions returned do not come from the system; they are strings embedded into the source code of the fake Errno.

Problem doesn't seem to occur on OSX, but I can reproduce on Ubuntu 14.10
