I really don't understand Peter's objection here. This thread has
already consumed more person-time than I spent on applying the
back-patch. I note also that, in fact, the code that was wrong was
wrong according to pre-2.5 python as well. It accidentally failed
to fail on common architectures, but it was certainly doing things
that are undefined according to the C standard. So in my eyes this
was a bug fix.
