Summary: 'compile' built-in function failures when missing EOL

Initial Comment:
The 'compile' built-in function sometimes fails when
given a source string that doesn't end in an EOL.

The following example crashes Python 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5a1:

prompt> ./python2.5 -c "compile('def foo(x):\n
pass\n#abc', 'blah.py', 'exec')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "blah.py", line 3
    #abc
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Attached is a patch to Lib/test/test_compile.py with a
test for this.
