Backout the original 'fix' to 1721309 which had no effect.
Different versions of Berkeley DB handle this differently.
The comments and bug report should have the details. Memory is allocated
in 4.4 (and presumably earlier), but not in 4.5. Thus
4.5 has the free error, but not earlier versions.
Mostly update comments, plus make the free conditional.
This fix was already applied to the 2.5 branch.

evil - if the last grubbed buffer didn't happen to be the right one,
you couldn't remedy.
Mainline emacs compat - don't use third arg to buffer-substring (which
was for explicitly identifying the buffer in which to seek the
substring, and which turns out to be unnecessary).
introduced when shifting around some code, and added some redundancy
to reduce chances of hitting the wrong source code. (This is
experimental - it will improve the accuracy, but will reduce the
ability of the user to deliberately select the buffer they want the
buffer grubbing stuff to find. I think the accuracy improvement will
be worth it, but am not sure, so may remove this.)
the reported path. (Eg, precompiled scripts with a file path suitable
for a different host, scripts actually running on a remote system or
with no valid path, like Zope through-the-web python scripts.)
On failing to find the code on the reported path, pdbtrack takes the
function name and looks through the buffers, from most to least
recent, seeking the first python-mode buffer that either is named for
the function or has a definition (def or class) for that function. So
to get source tracking for code that's not located where the path
indicates, you put a copy of the script in a buffer, and pdbtrack will
find it.
Also, fixed a small bug so pdbtrack now properly presents the overlay
arrow when you run the pdb 'w'here command.
a month or two with great success. Barry may want to tweak it some, but I
think it's a worthwhile enough addition to get some more people trying it
out.
This fixes an indentation bug reported by Jeremy when seeing multiple
list comprehensions like so:
[x for x in seq
if blah(x)]
# ...
[y for y in seq
if blah(y)]
The reason this broke is because this regexp caused the "find a safe
parsing start location higher up in the file" test to erroneously find
the if in the listcomp. I think the other keywords in this regexp are
fine and good enough.
After a weekend of testing, I can't find any adverse effects.
better auto-recognition of a Jython file vs. a CPython (or agnostic)
file by looking at the #! line more closely, and inspecting the import
statements in the first 20000 bytes (configurable). Specifically,
(py-import-check-point-max): New variable, controlling how far into
the buffer it will search for import statements.
(py-jpython-packages): List of package names that are Jython-ish.
(py-shell-alist): List of #! line programs and the modes associated
with them.
(jpython-mode-hook): Extra hook that runs when entering jpython-mode
(what about Jython mode? <20k wink>).
(py-choose-shell-by-shebang, py-choose-shell-by-import,
py-choose-shell): New functions.
(python-mode): Use py-choose-shell.
(jpython-mode): New command.
(py-execute-region): Don't use my previous hacky attempt at doing
this, use the new py-choose-shell function.
One other thing this file now does: it attempts to add the proper
hooks to interpreter-mode-alist and auto-mode-alist if they aren't
already there. Might help with Emacs users since that editor doesn't
come with python-mode by default.
Allows for some customization of the underlying comint buffer.
(py-shell): Call the new hook.
(info-lookup-maybe-add-help): A new call suggested by Milan Zamazal to
make lookups in the Info documentation easier.
(py-mode-map): Bind py-help-at-point to f1 as well as C-c C-h
(py-help-at-point): Make sure the symbol is quoted so things like
pydoc.help('sys.platform') work correctly. Also, leave the *Python
Output* buffer in help-mode; this may be a bit more controversial.
to call pychecker on the current file, add a face for pseudo
keywords self, None, True, False, and Ellipsis. Specifically,
(py-pychecker-command, py-pychecker-command-args): New variables.
(py-pseudo-keyword-face): New face variable, defaulting to a copy of
font-lock-keyword-face.
(python-font-lock-keywords): Add an entry for self, None, True, False,
Ellipsis to be rendered in py-pseudo-keyword-face.
(py-pychecker-history): New variable.
(py-mode-map): Bind C-c C-w to py-pychecker-run.
(py-pychecker-run): New command.
"help-on-symbol-at-point" feature which uses pydoc to provide help on
the symbol under point, if available.
Mods include some name changes, a port to Emacs, binding the command
to C-c C-h, and providing a more informative error message if the
symbol's help can't be found (through use of a nasty bare except).
Note also that py-describe-mode has been moved off of C-c C-h m; it's
now just available on C-c ?
Closes SF patch #545439.
#! line, use the command on that line as the shell command to use to
execute the region. I.e. if the region looks like
----------------
#! /usr/bin/env python1.5
print 'hello world'.startswith('hello')
----------------
you'll get an exception! :)
This closes SF bug #232398.
python-mode file, py-which-shell would have been nil and the command
to use would not get set correctly. This changes things so that 1)
the temporary file has a .py extension, 2) the temporary file is put
into python-mode, and 3) the temporary file's py-which-shell is
captured in a local `shell' variable, which is used to calculate the
command to use. Closes SF bug #545436.
(py-parse-state): Rip out the XEmacs-specific calls to
buffer-syntactic-context, which can get quite confused if there's an
open paren in column zero say, embedded in a triple quoted string.
This was always a performance hack anyway, and computers are fast
enough now that we should be able to get away with the slower, more
portable, full-parse branch. Closes SF bug #451841.

searches. This is added after /tmp. Closes SF bug #505488, except
that /var/tmp comes after /tmp instead of the patch's suggestion of
putting it before /usr/tmp.
implementation to match the documentation for
py-honor-comment-indentation w.r.t. not nil or t value. In that case
it should still ignore ## for indentation purposes. Closes SF bug
#523825, w/ patch provided by Christian Stork (mod'd by Barry).
Python 2.2.1 candidate.
additional offset is only applied to continuation lines for block
opening statements.
(py-compute-indentation): Only add py-continuation-offset if
py-statement-opens-block-p is true.
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters. Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).
Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block. This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions. This patch resolves PR#264.
