glibc, for example, does this already on its own, but it seems that
the solaris libc doesn't. This leads to Python code being able to over-
write file contents even though having specified "a" mode.

Try to repair at least one segfault on the Mac buildbot,
as diagnosed by Nick Coghlan.
test_capi.py: A test module should never spawn a thread as
a side effect of being imported. Because this one did, the
segfault one of its thread tests caused didn't occur until
a few tests after test_regrtest.py thought test_capi was
finished. Repair that. Also join() the thread spawned
at the end, so that test_capi is truly finished when
regrtest reports that it's done.
_testcapimodule.c test_thread_state(): this spawns a
couple of non-threading.py threads, passing them a PyObject*
argument, but did nothing to ensure that those threads
finished before returning. As a result, the PyObject*
_could_ (although this was unlikely) get decref'ed out of
existence before the threads got around to using it.
Added explicit synchronization (via a Python mutex) so
that test_thread_state can reliably wait for its spawned
threads to finish.
Try to be a bit more consistent on all platforms:
python .
python < .
both print a message, return non-zero and do not core dump.
This hopefully fixes the failure on Solaris.
Fix and test (manually w/xx module) passing NULLs to PyObject_Str() and
PyObject_Unicode(). This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".
This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().
We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.
_hotshot hotshot_profiler(): If write_header() returned
an error code, this let `self` leak. This is a disaster
on Windows, since `self` already points to a newly-opened
file object, and it was impossible for Python code to
close the thing since the only reference to it was in a
blob of leaked C memory.
test_hotshot test_bad_sys_path(): This new test provoked
the C bug above. This test passed, but left an open
"@test" file behind, which caused a massive cascade of
bogus test failures in later, unrelated tests on Windows.
Changed the test code to remove the @test file it leaves
behind, which relies on the change above to close that
file first.
Coverity found bug: test result of PyTuple_New() against NULL before use.
and r42891 (thomas.wouters):
Fix gcc 4.0.x warning about use of uninitialized value.
