there was no verification that privateobj was a PyString.  If it wasn't
a string, this could have allowed a NULL pointer to creep in below and crash.

I wonder if this should be PyString_CheckExact?  Must identifiers be strings
or can they be subclasses?

Klocwork #275

This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.

This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).

the code for details.

Provide a better context for errors when the conversion of a callback
function's result cannot be converted.

The first hunk changes the colon to an ! like other Windows variants.
We need to always wait on the child so the lock gets released and
no other tests fail.  This is the try/finally in the second hunk.

at stopping test_signal from hanging forever on the Tru64
buildbot.  That could be because there's no such thing as
signal.SIGALARM.  Changed to the idiotic (but standard)
signal.SIGALRM instead, and added some more debug output.

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.

of quoted test data relied on preserving a single trailing
blank.  Changed the string from raw to regular, and forced
in the trailing blank via an explicit \x20 escape.

PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc():  internal correctness changes wrt
refcount safety and deadlock avoidance.  Also added a basic test
case (relying on ctypes) and repaired the docs.

directories each time it ran, at least on Windows.

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).
