When PEX_PYTHON is in ~/.pexrc and set to a symlink, pex_bootstrapper repeatedly compares the symlink to the real path, determines they're not the same, and continues recursing. This goes on for hundreds of iterations until (it seems) something gets shoved out of the max env var length and the whole thing blows up because it can't find "locale".
