Detect a conflict in the only file that should have outstanding changes
when this script is run.  This doesn't matter on the trunk, but does
when run on a branch.  Trunk always has the date set to today in
boilerplate.tex.  Each time a release is cut with a different date,
a conflict occurs.  (We could copy a known good version, but then
we would lose changes to this file.)

I've kept a couple of still-valid extra tests in test_descr, but didn't

Will backport to 2.5 once it is unfrozen for 2.5.1.

Fix a bug when using the __lltrace__ opcode tracer, and a problem sith signed chars in frameobject.c which can occur with opcodes > 127

Add code to read from master_fd in the parent, breaking when we get an OSError
(EIO can occur on Linux) or there's no more data to read.  Without this,
test_pty.py can hang on the waitpid() because the child is blocking on the
stdout write.  This will definitely happen on Mac OS X and could potentially
happen on other platforms.  See the comment for details.

Found by Victor Stinner. Will backport when 2.5 branch is unfrozen.

Exceptions now are raised in the new style. And a mockup class is
now also new style. Thanks Santiago Pereson.
