of unicode objects, so that codecs that do a str->str decoding won't promote
the result to unicode. This fixes SF bug #1241507.

(thanks to Evelyn Mitchell for suggesting this)

In addition, long_pow() skipped a necessary (albeit extremely unlikely
to trigger) error check when converting an int modulus to long.

Alas, I was unable to write a test case that crashed due to either
cause.

with a PEP 263 encoding declaration results in long decoded line.

Turns out patch #1035255 was incomplete, it only patched _Filemodule.c
and not filesupport.py. So regenerating caused as_pathname() to go into
an infinite loop.

[ 1229429 ] missing Py_DECREF in PyObject_CallMethod

Add a test in test_enumerate, which is a bit random, but suffices
(reversed_new calls PyObject_CallMethod under some circumstances).

managed by C, because it's possible for the block to be smaller than the
new requested size, and at the end of allocated VM.  Trying to copy over
nbytes bytes to a Python small-object block can segfault then, and there's
no portable way to avoid this (we would have to know how many bytes
starting at p are addressable, and std C has no means to determine that).

Bugfix candidate.  Should be backported to 2.4, but I'm out of time.

[ 1232517 ] OverflowError in time.utime() causes strange traceback

A needed error check was missing.

(Actually, this error check may only have become necessary in fairly
recent Python, not sure).

Backport candidate.
