[IronPython] IronPython 2 Bug - code module and InteractiveInterpreter (stdout swallowed or not appearing)

[Michael Foord]

Hello all (again),

A simpler way of reproducing the bug is as follows:

IronPython 1 and CPython
 >>> c = compile('3', 'test', 'single', 0, 1)
 >>> exec c
3
 >>>

IronPython 2
 >>> c = compile('3', 'test', 'single', 0, 1)
 >>> exec c
 >>>

I have a 'proof-of-concept' interpreter that runs in the browser, but 
this bug makes it not so fun. :-(
