Added documentation of the sendall() method, and a note to the send() method
that it does not guarantee that all data is sent.

Thread.__bootstrap(): ignore exceptions in the self.__delete() call in
the finally clause.  An exception here could happen when a daemon
thread exits after the threading module has already been trashed by
the import finalization, and there's not much of a point in trying to
insist doing the cleanup in that stage.

This should fix SF bug ##497111: active_limbo_lock error at program
exit.

useful.  Includes one correction in the precmd() description.

Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly
described in the index.

backport patch #495358  rfc822.AddressList and "<>" address

  Improve threading on Solaris, according to SF patch #460269, submitted
  by bbrox@bbrox.org / lionel.ulmer@free.fr.

  This adds a configure check and if all goes well turns on the
  PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM thread attribute for new threads.

  This should remove the need to add tiny sleeps at the start of threads
  to allow other threads to be scheduled.

This is a semi-feature, but makes such a huge difference to the
performance of Zope on Solaris that it's worthwhile (well, imho).

in the std lib that should be using sendall(), rather than send() - I've
tried to check each of the patches.

Replaces calls to socket.send() (which isn't guaranteed to send all data)
with the new socket.sendall() method.

select not defensive. check for EINTR and make sure it's handled painlessly.

checkin (my fault!).

This fixes SF bug #495896.

Fix up various markup consistency & style guide conformance nits.

Make dumbdbm merely "dumb", rather than "terminally broken". Without this
patch, it's almost impossible to use dumbdbm _without_ causing horrible
datalossage. With this patch, dumbdbm passes my own horrible torture test,
as well as the roundup test suite.

dumbdbm really could do with a smidgin of a rewrite or two, but that's not
suitable for the release21-maint branch.

This patch should go into the trunk as well.

 SF bug 485175:  buffer overflow in
 traceback.c.  Bugfix candidate.  tb_displayline():  the sprintf
 format was choking off the file name, but used plain %s for the
 function name (which can be arbitrarily long).  Limit both to 500
 chars max.

Missing DECREFs when exception is raised in sys.excepthook.

 PySymtableEntry_New():  I'm not sure what this
 routine is doing, but it was obviously leaking an int object when
 whatever the heck it's looking for was found.  Repaired that.  This
 accounts for why entering function and class definitions at an
 interactive prompt leaked a reference to the integer 1 each time.

Py_Initialize(): Apply patch by Jürgen Hermann to call
    _PyImport_FixupExtension() on the exceptions module.  Now
    reload(exceptions) acts just like reload(sys) instead of raising
    an ImportError.

    This closes SF bug #422004.

Add checks for stack underflow and overflow.

responses that the original parse227() routine can't handle are
becoming more common.

"""
Change the 227 response parser to use a more liberal regular
expression.  This is needed for certain servers that (in violation of
the standard) don't return the parentheses in the response.

This fixes SF bug #441712 by Henrik Weber (not exactly using his
patch).
