    Instead of "https://www.someurl.com", it becomes

the module a second time in that situation, and fiddled the __main__

Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system().  But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes.  I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.

casts with a variable oself that has the proper type.  A smart
compiler may put this thing into a register.

(I'm not sure what good this does except satisfy my desire to
understand this function; I got a report about an uninitialized read
from Insure++ about this function and it hurt my eyes to even look at
it.  I gotta run away or I'll get tempted to reformat the entire
file...)

out the for loop at the end intended to zero out new items wasn't
doing anything, because sv->ob_size was already equal to newsize.  The
fix slightly refactors the function, introducing a variable oldsize
and doing away with sizediff (which was used only once), and using
oldsize and newsize consistently.  I also added comments explaining
what the two for loops do.  (Looking at the CVS annotation of this
function, it's no miracle a bug crept in -- this has been patched by
many different folks! :-)

Bump version number

(At least for the repeatable test case that Tim produced.)

pattern_subx(): Add missing DECREF(filter) in both exit branches
(normal and error return).  Also fix a DECREF(args) that should
certainly be a DECREF(match) -- because it's inside if (!args) and
right after allocation of match.

annoying that often you have to hit ^C numerous times before it
works.  The solution: before the "except:" clause, insert "except
KeyboardInterrupt: raise".  This propagates KeyboardInterrupt out,
stopping the test in its tracks.
