Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The tests that are expected to break are: test_codecencodings_cn test_codecencodings_hk test_codecencodings_jp test_codecencodings_kr test_codecencodings_tw test_codecs test_multibytecodec This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch, though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

the memory usage down to allow the tests to complete. It seems to take
about 5 times longer to run --without-pymalloc.
+Apr 15, 2006:
+ test_ctypes causes Valgrind 3.1.1 to fail (crash).
+ test_socket_ssl should be skipped when running valgrind.
+ The reason is that it purposely uses uninitialized memory.
+ This causes many spurious warnings, so it's easier to just skip it.
