Thomas Wouters 49fd7fa443 Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

Plaintext

This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause
the interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always
be empty. Sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause.
Each test should fail when run from the command line:
./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py
Each test should have a link to the bug report:
# http://python.org/sf/BUG#
Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine
the cause of the failure. Particularly note if the cause is
system or environment dependent and what the variables are.
Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate
test (even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the
regression doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier
to track down.
