[ 1165306 ] Property access with decorator makes interpreter crash

Don't allow the creation of unbound methods with NULL im_class, because
attempting to call such crashes.

Backport candidate.

[ 1166660 ] The readline module can cause python to segfault

It seems to me that the code I'm rewriting here attempted to call any
user-supplied hook functions using the thread state of the thread that
called the hook-setting function, as opposed to that of the thread
that is currently executing.  This doesn't work, in general.

Fix this by using the PyGILState API (It wouldn't be that hard to
define a dummy version of said API when #ifndef WITH_THREAD, would
it?).

Also, check the conversion to integer of the return value of a hook
function for errors (this problem was mentioned in the ipython bug
report linked to in the above bug).

this module any more.

fixes the crash seen in bug #1165761

Patch by Ilya Sandler.

Bugfix candidate.

POSIX is enabled.  This prevents the toolbox glue, all of Carbon,
and various other non-POSIX features from compiling.  The POSIX
symbols are  still used by default, so turning off the #define
doesn't hurt.

Additionally, linker flags have changed for Darwin 8, and are
different for Darwin 8/gcc4 (default) and Darwin 8/gcc3.3.

Will backport to 2.4.

text a bit and refer to OSS docs.

I slammed in what looked like the obvious fixes, but someone who
understands this file should check my work.

* Remove future division import from test suite.
* Remove test suite's shadowing of __builtin__.dir().
