not properly processing numeric IPv4 addresses. Fixes V5.1 part of #472675.

Some escaped newlines had spaces between the backslash and the newline. Also slightly changed the comment on xstat().

Got this to work in MacPython. The code is #ifdef macintosh style (to match the existing #ifdef MS_WINDOWS), but eventually ifdeffing on configure features is probably better.

ThreadingMixIn/TCPServer forgets close (Max Neunhöffer).

This ensures that handle_error() and close_request() are called when
an error occurs in the thread.

(I am not applying the second chunk of the patch, which moved the
finish() call into the finally clause in BaseRequestHandler's __init__
method; that would be a semantic change that I cannot accept at this
point - the data would be sent even if the handler raised an
exception.)

    The C-code in fileobject.readinto(buffer) which parses
    the arguments assumes that size_t is interchangeable
    with int:

	    size_t ntodo, ndone, nnow;

	    if (f->f_fp == NULL)
		    return err_closed();
	    if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "w#", &ptr, &ntodo))
		    return NULL;

    This causes a problem on Alpha / Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1
    where size_t is a long and sizeof(long) != sizeof(int).

    The patch I'm proposing declares ntodo as an int.  An
    alternative might be to redefine w# to expect size_t.

[We can't change w# because there are probably third party modules
relying on it. GvR]

Is it really necessary to be more specific than to test for TypeError here,
though?
