  Core and builtins
  
+ - When x is an object whose class implements __mul__ and __rmul__,
+   1.0*x would correctly invoke __rmul__, but 1*x would erroneously
+   invoke __mul__.  This was due to the sequence-repeat code in the int
+   type.  This has been fixed now.
+ 
  - If a dying instance of a new-style class got resurrected by its class's
    __del__ method, Python aborted with a fatal error.
