[issue5677] Serious interpreter crash and/or arbitrary memory leak using .read() on writable file

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Hmm, test_file.py is for the new IO library (backported from 3.x). You should use test_file2k.py for tests against the 2.x file object.

Also, readinto() should take something such as a bytearray() as argument, not a string.
