using .add_section() and .set() for the DEFAULT section adds it twice:

[user@srv ~]$ cat test_configparser.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import ConfigParser

a = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser()

# borked
a.add_section('DEFAULT')
a.set('DEFAULT', 'foo', 'bar')

# working
a.add_section('working')
a.set('working', 'foo', 'bar')

b = open('testing', 'w')
a.write(b)
b.close()

[user@srv ~]$ python test_configparser.py
[user@srv ~]$ cat testing
[DEFAULT]
foo = bar

[DEFAULT]

[working]
foo = bar

Tested with 2.4 and 2.5, py3k no longer allows DEFAULT to be passed, so
this is a python < 3k issue.

This is already fixed in 2.6 since r60976, the related issue is bpo-1781
I'm not sure this is a good candidate for 2.4.6 and 2.5.3 : this isn't a
security fix, but I doubt fixing this would break existing code as I
can't imagine people relying on this behavior.

Adding Martin to the nosy list so he can pronounce.

The release candidate for 2.5.3 has been made; this patch cannot be
considered anymore.

Closing as fixed.
