Summary: csv module sometimes raises _csv.Error

Initial Comment:
Tested on 2.3 (Fedora Core 3) and 2.4 (Ubuntu 5.04).
The documentation strongly suggests that the csv module
raises csv.Error when there are problems parsing the
csv, but in fact it sometimes lets _csv.Error escape
the C module, as per this example:

>>> import csv, StringIO
>>> r = csv.reader(StringIO.StringIO('"xx,qq'))
>>> r.next()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
_csv.Error: newline inside string
