trace_dispatch() result in a more obvious, and more robust way.

showing that doctest's pdb.set_trace() support was dramatically broken.

doctest.py _OutputRedirectingPdb.trace_dispatch():  Return a local trace
function instead of (implicitly) None.  Else interaction with pdb was
bizarre, noticing only 'call' events.  Amazingly, the existing set_trace()
tests didn't care.

(thanks to Raymond for the prod).

PyGILState_Ensure():  The fix in 2.4a3 for bug 1010677 reintroduced thread
shutdown race bug 225673.  Repaired by (once again) ensuring the GIL is
held whenever deleting a thread state.

Alas, there's no useful test case for this shy bug.  Four years ago, only
Guido could provoke it, on his box, and today only Armin can provoke it
on his box.  I've never been able to provoke it (but not for lack of
trying!).

This is a critical fix for 2.3.5 too, since the fix for 1010677 got
backported there already and so also reintroduced 225673.  I don't intend to
backport this fix.  For whoever (if anyone) does, there are other thread
fixes in 2.4 that need backporting too, and I bet they need to happen first
for this patch to apply cleanly.

Fixes #1056441.

If read() returned less than the number of bytes request, the full amount was subtracted from length instead of the actually read amount.

technique, not a type declaration".

accidentally derives from TestSuite instead of TestCase.

memset() wrote one past the end of the buffer, which was likely to be unused padding or a yet-to-be-initialized local variable.  This routine is already tested by test_socket.

TimedRotatingFileHandler class. Thanks Jeroen Vloothuis!

There is no test for this change, because there is no way to provoke memory errors on demand.  Test suite passes, though.
