Summary: Patch to 742342 Crash on recursive reload

Initial Comment:
Modules that causes a recursive reload cause a program 
abort. Easy for python developer to fix in their code, but the 
python interpreter shouldn't crash.
This patch guards against circular reloading. This protection 
comes by an additional dictionary stored in the interpreter 
state to keep trakc of modules that are reloading. Recursive 
imports are protected against in a similar manner

I've updated this patch to a recent SVN revision and worked up a test
case.

What do you think, Martin?
