find_prefix_at_end function. Check behavior of a string given as a
producer.  Added tests for behavior of asynchat.async_chat when given
int, long, and None terminator arguments. Added usepoll attribute to
TestAsynchat to allow running the asynchat tests with poll support
chosen whether it's available or not (improves coverage of asyncore
code). [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]

so that the event gets set if a failure occurs during server setup
(otherwise the test will block forever).  Changed to let the OS assign
the server port number, and client side of test waits for port number
assignment before proceeding. The test data in DispatcherWithSendTests
is also sent in multiple send() calls instead of one to make sure this
works properly. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]

smtpd.DebuggingServer. Change to use global host & port number
variables. Modified the 'server' to take a string to send back in

smtplib.SMTP to a non-200 HELO response. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]

The Maildir specification doesn't seem to say anything about this
situation, and it can happen if you're keeping a Maildir mailbox in
Subversion (.svn directories) or some similar system.  The patch just
ignores directories in the cur/, new/, tmp/ folders.

[ 1752723 ] email.message_from_string: initial line gets discarded

I added a test to assert that when the first line of text passed to
message_from_string() contains a leading space, the message ends up with the
appropriate FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect on its defects list.

The bug is invalid.
