In a threads-disabled build, typing Ctrl-C into a raw_input() crashed,
because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS
actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow
NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would
stay NULLed when you return to Python. Argh!
Fixes for
[ 1166660 ] The readline module can cause python to segfault
It seems to me that the code I'm rewriting here attempted to call any
user-supplied hook functions using the thread state of the thread that
called the hook-setting function, as opposed to that of the thread
that is currently executing. This doesn't work, in general.
Fix this by using the PyGILState API (It wouldn't be that hard to
define a dummy version of said API when #ifndef WITH_THREAD, would
it?).
Also, check the conversion to integer of the return value of a hook
function for errors (this problem was mentioned in the ipython bug
report linked to in the above bug).
regrtest.py: skip rgbimg and imageop as they are not built on 64-bit systems.
_tkinter.c: replace %.8x with %p for printing pointers.
setup.py: add lib64 into the library directories.
memset() wrote one past the end of the buffer, which was likely to be unused padding or a yet-to-be-initialized local variable. This routine is already tested by test_socket.
