[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads

that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
other
- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
and __init__ methods
- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
dictionary could be avoided without this change)
- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added
- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref
This closes SF patch #983019.
Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection.
In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get
and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other
potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing
something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face
of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a
leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys,
sometimes only with an exception exit.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.

and utcfromtimestamp() methods. Added insane-argument tests of these
to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime()
and gmtime() to test_time.

Tim suggests that the new funciton being introduced, _PyTime_DoubletoTimet(),

appropriate. Not being done now for lack of time.

If the seconds are different, we still need to calculate the differences
between milliseconds.
Also, on a Gentoo Linux (2.6.5) dual Athlon MP box with glibc 2.3,
time can go backwards. This probably happens when the process switches
the CPU it's running on. Time can also go backwards when running NTP.
If we detect a negative time delta (ie, time went backwards), return
a delta of 0. This prevents an illegal array access elsewhere.
I think it's safest to *not* update prev_timeofday in this case, so we
return without updating.

This fixes the problem and the test passes. I'm not sure
the test is really correct though. It seems like it would
be better to raise an exception. I think that wasn't done
for backwards compatability.

as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.
This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI. Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.

Added a new exception, socket.timeout so that timeouts can be differentiated

Docs, more tests, and newsitem to follow.
If the callback raised an exception but did not set curexc_traceback,
the trace function was called with PyTrace_RETURN. That is, the trace
function was called with an exception set. The main loop detected the
exception when the trace function returned; it complained and disabled
tracing.
Fix the logic error so that PyTrace_RETURN only occurs if the callback
returned normally.
The trace function must be called for exceptions, too. So we had
to add new functionality to call with PyTrace_EXCEPTION. (Leads to a
rather ugly ifdef / else block that contains only a '}'.)
Reverse the logic and name of NOFIX_TRACE to FIX_TRACE.

The interning of short strings violates the refcnt==1 assumption for
_PyString_Resize().
A simple fix is to boost the initial value of "totalnew" by 1.
Combined with an NULL argument to PyString_FromStringAndSize(),
this assures that resulting format string is not interned.
This will remain true even if the implementation of
PyString_FromStringAndSize() changes because only the uninitialized
strings that can be interned are those of zero length.

stack usage on FreeBSD, requiring the recursion limit to be lowered
further. Building with gcc 2.95 (the standard compiler on FreeBSD 4.x)
is now also affected.
The underlying issue is that FreeBSD's pthreads implementation has a
hard-coded 1MB stack size for the initial (or "primary") thread, which
can not be changed without rebuilding libc_r. Exhausting this stack
results in a bus error.
Building without pthreads (configure --without-threads), or linking
with the port of the Linux pthreads library (aka Linuxthreads) instead
of libc_r, avoids this limitation.
On OS/2, only gcc 3.2 is affected and the stack size is controllable,
so the special handling has been removed.
