The "string of all chars" test calls setbinary before performing the  
test.  The documentation for setbinary says it sets the encoding for  
current input, output and error streams to ISO-8859-1, as well as  
making it the default for new ports.  Is that supposed to affect make- 
regexp and regexp-exec as well?

If I replace the call with a call to set-latin-1 (modified to try  
".ISO8859-1", as described above), which sets the locale, the test  
passes on the Mac.
