Yes, I just noticed this too. When I did a cvs update, I saw no
changes to the distutils tree, but these changes could be relevant:
P Objects/dictobject.c
P Objects/floatobject.c
P Objects/intobject.c
P Objects/longobject.c
P Python/bltinmodule.c
All of these from Tim's checkins, and Tim can't build on Unix to test
this.
I'll try to look into this later, but not right away -- it's a holiday
here.
