test_math and test_cmath are failing on the FreeBSD 6.2 trunk buildbot,
apparently because tanh(-0.) loses the sign of zero on that platform.
If true, this is a bug in FreeBSD.

Added a configure test to verify this. I still need to figure out
how best to deal with this failure.

falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

This should fix issue2632. A long description of the two competing
problems is in the bug report (one old, one recently introduced trying
to fix the old one). In short:

buffer data during socket._fileobject.read() and readlines() within a
cStringIO object instead of a [] of str()s returned from the recv()
call.

This prevents excessive memory use due to the size parameter being
passed to recv() being grossly larger than the actual size of the data
returned *and* prevents excessive cpu usage due to looping in python
calling recv() with a very tiny size value if min() is used as the
previous memory-use bug "fix" did.

It also documents what the socket._fileobject._rbufsize member is
actually used for.

This is a candidate for back porting to 2.5.

Fix the C implementation of 'warnings' to infer the filename of the module that
raised an exception properly when __file__ is not set, __name__ == '__main__',
and sys.argv[0] is a false value.

Closes issue2743.

In test_io, StatefulIncrementalDecoderTest was not part of the test suite.
And of course, the test failed:
a bytearray was used without reason in io.TextIOWrapper.tell().

The difference is that iterating over bytes (i.e. str in python2.6) returns 1-char bytes,
whereas bytearrays yield integers.
This code should still work with python3.0

Implemented feature request 2157: Converter names are cut off at '('
characters. This avoids the common case of something like 'NUMBER(10)' not
being parsed as 'NUMBER', like expected. Also corrected the docs about
converter names being case-sensitive. They aren't any longer.
