[issue2047] shutil.destinsrc returns wrong result when source path matches beginning of destination path

Raghuram, you've been too fast ;-)

Your test matches the problem. I don't know if it happens on Linux, but
on my Win32 Installation the test 'test_destinsrc_2' fails with an 
AssertionError 'destinsrc() wrongly concluded that dst
(@test\srcdir.new) is in src (@test\srcdir)'.

Using the submitted patch everything comes out with 'Ok'.

I've appended the failing test output.
