test_complexcharerrors on narrow curses builds under a multibyte (e.g. UTF-8) locale:complexchar('\xe9')raisesOverflowError(the character has no single-byte cell) rather thanValueError, which thestorable()helper did not catch, so the non-ASCII assertions raised instead of being skipped.This surfaced as buildbot failures on Debian root and macOS after gh-153395; the
OverflowErroritself is long-standing behaviour ofPyCurses_ConvertToChtype, not new.
