I ran into an error while trying to use the shelve module.  Alex Martelli seemed to think I was running into a python bug.  He suggested I file a bug report.  For more info see:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2180946/really-weird-issue-with-shelve-python

Here's a patch that fixes the problem for shelve.  For the more general problem with Python shutdown and module cleanup, see issue 812369.

I can come up with a sort-of unit test for this (setting _ClosedDict to None, calling close to prove it doesn't generate an error, and restoring _CloseDict), but it is rather artificial, since the real bug involves __del__ getting called during shutdown after module finalization.  So I'm not sure the unit test is worthwhile.

I'd say go ahead and commit without test.

Committed in r78137 to trunk, r78138 py26, r78139 py3k, and r78140 py31.

Fix modified to catch the case where the shutdown has also deleted module dictionary, at MAL's suggestion, in r78142.
