Barry says you need to do the following to truly test the patch:

- check out the head
- make distclean
- apply the patch
- autoreconf
- ./configure --with-pydebug
- make test

Apparently autoreconf regenerates something for autoconf and 
that has to be done.  Learn something new everyday.  Can you 
give that a shot, Torsten?  If that still fails it is going to take some 
work to figure this one out.
