this was trying to assert, but the name it referenced didn't exist.

directly when no comparison function is specified.  This saves a layer
of function call on every compare then.  Measured speedups:

 i    2**i  *sort  \sort  /sort  3sort  +sort  %sort  ~sort  =sort  !sort
15   32768  12.5%   0.0%   0.0% 100.0%   0.0%  50.0% 100.0% 100.0% -50.0%
16   65536   8.7%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%  12.5%   0.0%   0.0%
17  131072   8.0%  25.0%   0.0%  25.0%   0.0%  14.3%   5.9%   0.0%   0.0%
18  262144   6.3% -10.0%  12.5%  11.1%   0.0%   6.3%   5.6%  12.5%   0.0%
19  524288   5.3%   5.9%   0.0%   5.6%   0.0%   5.9%   5.4%   0.0%   2.9%
20 1048576   5.3%   2.9%   2.9%   5.1%   2.8%   1.3%   5.9%   2.9%   4.2%

The best indicators are those that take significant time (larger i), and
where sort doesn't do very few compares (so *sort and ~sort benefit most
reliably).  The large numbers are due to roundoff noise combined with
platform variability; e.g., the 14.3% speedup for %sort at i=17 reflects
a printed elapsed time of 0.18 seconds falling to 0.17, but a change in
the last digit isn't really meaningful (indeed, if it really took 0.175
seconds, one electron having a lazy nanosecond could shift it to either
value <wink>).  Similarly the 25% at 3sort i=17 was a meaningless change
from 0.05 to 0.04.  However, almost all the "meaningless changes" were
in the same direction, which is good.  The before-and-after times for
*sort are clearest:

before after
  0.18  0.16
  0.25  0.23
  0.54  0.50
  1.18  1.11
  2.57  2.44
  5.58  5.30

2.2 bugfix candidate (may cause RuntimeError for applications that
currently work fine).

Piers obviously couldn't have passed on any platform.  Fiddling it so it
works (for a meaning of "works" no stronger than "doesn't fail" <wink>).

Change the parser and compiler to use PyMalloc.

Only the files implementing processes that will request memory
allocations small enough for PyMalloc to be a win have been
changed, which are:-
 - Python/compile.c
 - Parser/acceler.c
 - Parser/node.c
 - Parser/parsetok.c

This augments the aggressive overallocation strategy implemented by
Tim Peters in PyNode_AddChild() [Parser/node.c], in reducing the
impact of platform malloc()/realloc()/free() corner case behaviour.
Such corner cases are known to be triggered by test_longexp and
test_import.

Jeremy Hylton, in accepting this patch, recommended this as a
bugfix candidate for 2.2.  While the changes to Python/compile.c
and Parser/node.c backport easily (and could go in), the changes
to Parser/acceler.c and Parser/parsetok.c require other not
insignificant changes as a result of the differences in the memory
APIs between 2.3 and 2.2, which I'm not in a position to work
through at the moment.  This is a pity, as the Parser/parsetok.c
changes are the most important after the Parser/node.c changes, due
to the size of the memory requests involved and their frequency.
