[Python-Dev] outstanding bugs to fix for 2.5

[Neal Norwitz]

There are still a bunch of outstanding bugs.  rc1 is about a week away
and it would be great to fix these.  Many of these are also present in
2.4, but it would be nice to squash them in 2.5.  Here's the list from
PEP 356:

        http://python.org/sf/1526585 - SystemError concat long strings (2.4)
        http://python.org/sf/1523610 - PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords potential
                                        core dump (2.4)
        http://python.org/sf/1521947 - mystrtol.c fails with gcc 4.1 (2.4?)
                                        test_compile.test_unary_minus
        http://python.org/sf/1519025 - socket timeout crash when receive
                                        signal (2.4)
        http://python.org/sf/1517042 - Fix crashers/gc_inspection.py (2.4)
        http://python.org/sf/1515471 - stringobject (char buffers)
        http://python.org/sf/1513611 - XML: xml.sax.expatreader missing
        http://python.org/sf/1511497 - XML: xml.sax.ParseException issue
        http://python.org/sf/1475523 - gettext.py bug
        http://python.org/sf/1467929 - %-formatting and dicts (2.4)
        http://python.org/sf/1333982 - AST
        http://python.org/sf/1191458 - AST (test_trace issue mentioned below)

It would be great to fix *all* of these.  In this list, at least 3
(4?) can cause segfaults, and #1521947 can cause incorrect results.
