* crashes on memory allocation failure found with failmalloc
* memory leaks found with valgrind
* compiler warnings in opt mode which would lead to invalid memory reads
* problem using wrong name in decimal module reported by pychecker
Update the valgrind suppressions file with new leaks that are small/one-time
leaks we don't care about (ie, they are too hard to fix).

At least some of these fixes should probably be backported to 2.5.
that the behaviour of Decimal doesn't change if/when re.UNICODE becomes
assumed in Python 3.0.
Also add a check that alternative Unicode digits (e.g. u'\N{FULLWIDTH
DIGIT ONE}') are *not* accepted in a numeric string.
at reducing the size of the diff between the 2.x decimal.py
and 3.x decimal.py and thereby making future merges easier:
- replace one instnace of an old-style raise statement
- define __div__ in terms of __truediv__ instead of the
other way around
- make wording match on an exception message
number: now it does not store the mantissa as a tuple
of numbers, but as a string.
This avoids a lot of conversions, and achieves a
speedup of 40%. The API remains intact.
Thanks Mark Dickinson.
coefficient numbers, floats in the sign, and other details that
generated directly the wrong number in the best case, or triggered
misfunctionality in the alorithms.
Test cases added for these issues. Thanks Mark Dickinson.
with Cawlishaw by mail, and he basically confirmed that to these is_*
operations, there's no need to return Decimal(0) and Decimal(1) if
the language supports the False and True booleans.
Also added a few tests for the these functions in extra.decTest, since
they are mostly untested (apart from the doctests).
Thanks Mark Dickinson
fully updated to the latests Decimal Specification (v1.66) and the
latests test cases (v2.56).
Thanks to Mark Dickinson for all his help during this process.
