Change the way TEXINPUTS gets defined to ensure that the directory containing
the main document file comes before any other dir, to allow documents to have
files that "override" like-named files elsewhere on the search path. Guido
discovered we needed this.

-1 is returned and the existing table is unchanged.

problem was a couple of bugs in the readline implementation.
1. Include the '\n' in the string returned by readline
2. Bug calculating new buffer size in _unread
Also remove unncessary import of StringIO

I think I found a bug in CGIHTTPServer.py. (Does anyone care? :-)
I was trying to use it as the web server for uploading files.
Python CGI scripts (using the CGI module) that worked for other
servers (e.g., Netscape Enterprise server) hang when run from
CGIHTTPServer. The problem is that the content type parameters,
in particular the boundary parameter, were not passed through to
the CGI scripts, thus making the MIME parsing code choke.
My simple-minded fix is:
% diff CGIHTTPServer.py /usr/local/lib/python1.5/CGIHTTPServer.py
137,140c136
< if self.headers.typeheader is None:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type
< else:
< env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.typeheader
---
> env['CONTENT_TYPE'] = self.headers.type

This patch must hold the world record for living in my inbox:
From: John Ehresman <jehresma@dsg.harvard.edu>

He provided a fix for the version that comes with Python 1.3:
ftpmirror.py revision 1.1... And it was still relevant!
Adapted from code submitted by Just van Rossum.
PySys_WriteStdout(format, ...)
PySys_WriteStderr(format, ...)
The first function writes to sys.stdout; the second to sys.stderr. When
there is a problem, they write to the real (C level) stdout or stderr;
no exceptions are raised (but a pending exception may be cleared when a
new exception is caught).
Both take a printf-style format string as their first argument followed
by a variable length argument list determined by the format string.
*** WARNING ***
The format should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
1000 bytes. In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats
should occur; these should be limited using "%.<N>s where <N> is a
decimal number calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other
formatted text does not exceed 1000 bytes. Also watch out for "%f",
which can print hundreds of digits for very large numbers.
