tests: fixed test too dependent on actual exception wording

On one of the machines I use to run the tests prior to submission,
the default Python is 2.7.5, with the following wording:

  must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str

This third form (and possible future ones) are motivation to
use a wider catching regexp.

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function

import sys

def flush():
    sys.stdout.flush()
    sys.stderr.flush()

globalvars = {}
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
while lines:
    l = lines.pop(0)
    if l.startswith('SALT'):
        print(l[:-1])
    elif l.startswith('>>> '):
        snippet = l[4:]
        while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
            l = lines.pop(0)
            snippet += l[4:]
        c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
        try:
            flush()
            exec(c, globalvars)
            flush()
        except Exception as inst:
            flush()
            print(repr(inst))
