makes the float constructor behave in the same way as specified
by various other language standards, including C99, IEEE 754r,
and the IBM Decimal standard.

Also fixes
- Issue #1526: Allow more than 64k files to be added to Zip64 file.

  urlopen().

whose write() method installs another sys.stdout.

Will backport.

When a thread touches such an object for the first time, a new thread-local __dict__ is created,
and the __init__ method is run.
But a thread switch can occur here; if the other thread touches the same object, it installs another
__dict__; when the first thread resumes, it updates the dictionary of the second...

This is the deep cause of the failures in test_multiprocessing involving "managers" objects.

Also a 2.5 backport candidate.

Updated to reflect change in logging.config to remove out-of-date comment in _install_handlers and the use of issubclass in place of equality comparison of classes.
