I'd like to review this in 2.4/2.5/trunk before the 2.4.4
release.

Debian "testing" ships with everything compiled with the
faulty gcc -- even though this gcc is not released yet!  I
hate Debian's policies.  "Fixing" 2.4.4 would help me a bit
to get a reasonable Python installation on Debian machines
where I have to log to (assuming the sysadmin knew he had
to fish 72 small packages to get just a complete stdlib,
that is, but that's another matter).
