Summary: symtable module crashes w/ coding declaration

Initial Comment:
The symtable module doesn't work with source code
encodings, it seems. Sample code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

import sys
import symtable
filename = sys.argv[0]
tab = symtable.symtable(open(filename).read(),
filename, exec")
print tab.get_type()

When running this code, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bar.py", line 8, in ?
    print tab.get_type()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/symtable.py", line 71,
in get_type
    assert self._table.type in (1, 2, 3), AssertionError: unexpected type: 0

If I remove the source code encoding declaration,
things work fine. I've verified this problem with 2.3.2
and 2.3.3. 2.2.0 and 2.2.2 works fine.
