Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Modules
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv11412/python/Modules

Modified Files:
	python.c 
Log Message:
Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.
This can cause core dumps when Python runs.  Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions.  This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.
