64-bit boxes.  I have no idea what the ctypes docs mean
by "integers", and blind-guessing here that it intended to
mean the signed C "int" type, in which case perhaps I can
repair this by feeding the thread id argument to type
ctypes.c_long().

Also made the worker thread daemonic, so it doesn't hang
Python shutdown if the test continues to fail.

blank.  Changed the string from raw to regular, and forced
in the trailing blank via an explicit \x20 escape.

refcount safety and deadlock avoidance.  Also added a basic test
case (relying on ctypes) and repaired the docs.

Several changes:  explicitly closed all files; wrapped long
lines; stopped suppressing errors when removing a file or
directory fails (removing /shouldn't/ fail!); and changed
what appeared to be incorrect usage of os.removedirs() (that
doesn't remove empty directories at and /under/ the given
path, instead it must be given an empty leaf directory and
then deletes empty directories moving /up/ the path -- could
be that the conceptually simpler shutil.rmtree() was really
actually intended here).

PyMapping_Size and PySequence_Size.

Because len() tries first sequence, then mapping size, it will always
raise a "non-mapping object has no len" error which is confusing.

Once I see how the buildbots react, I'll backport this to 2.4.
