    revision 2.33 of cStringIO.c

Fix SF bug #526518

The doc string for cStringIO suggested that str() of a StringIO object
was equivalent to getvalue().  This was never true, so repair the doc
string.  (doctest would have helped here.)

Bug fix candidate for any past versions.

Use waste included with CW in stead of separate package.

(But a truer log message would have been "updated to current version of waste",
as in MachoPython we use a normal standalone separate Waste distribution).

Changes by Donovan Preston (and a few minor ones by me) to make IDE run under
MachoPython. Mainly making sure we don't call routines that don't exist
and representing pathnames in a os.separator-neutral format.

When testing for availability of pthreads without special compiler options
or libraries also look for thread_detach. SGI has thread_create in libc

Guido pointed out that I was missing a couple decrefs.

is introducing new bugs.  In that vein, can I ask -checkins readers
who have time to carefully look this over, check my refcounts &c?
TIA.

backport my checkin of
    revision 1.5 of structseq.c

Apply (my) patch:

[ 526072 ] pickling os.stat results round II

structseq's constructors can now take "invisible" fields in a dict.
Gave the constructors better error messages.
their __reduce__ method puts these fields in a dict.

(this is all in aid of getting os.stat_result's to pickle portably)

Also fixes

[ 526039 ] devious code can crash structseqs

Thought needed about how much of this counts as a bugfix.  Certainly
#526039 needs to be fixed.

    revision 1.14 of pickletester.py

Special support for pickling os.stat and os.stat_vfs results portably
(the types come from different modules on different platforms).

Added tests for pickling these types.

May be a bugfix candidate.

    revision 1.115 of test_descr.py

SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjects

Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on.  Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.

This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.



I haven't quite worked out how to port the fix yet, but the test cases
can go straight over.

Whether platform malloc(0) returns NULL has nothing to do with whether
platform realloc(p, 0) returns NULL, so MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL can
be correctly undefined yet realloc(p, 0) can return NULL anyway.

Prevent realloc(p, 0) doing free(p) and returning NULL via a different
hack.  Would probably be better to get rid of MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL
entirely.
