[Orbit-python-list] [patch] segmentation fault with __import__.__doc__

[Christian R. R. <ki...@as...>]

Tack,

The attached patch solves a SEGV which occurs when python code refers to
__import__.__doc__ after importing CORBA. The patch looks up the default
docstring for __import__, copies it and attaches it to our new handler.

The alternative implementation is simply setting the docstring to "". But
in our case, I think it's worth preserving the original message, since it
doesn't cost us anything.

[ To anybody wondering about 0.3.2, I'd really like to ship it wth no
known SEGVs. If you know of any case, please report and I'll do an
expedited fix. Brad, your patch is integrated into CVS, thanks. ]

Take care,
