[Python-Dev] [PATCH] Fix dictionary subclass semantics when used as global dictionaries

There is an inconsistancy in the way that dictionary subclasses behave
when they are used as as namespaces in execs.

Basically, while python 2.4 permits the usage of dictionary subclasses
for local environments, it still bypasses the subclass functions and
uses the C API for global environments. The attached patch (and
unittest!) addresses this issue.

I'm pretty sure we keep the fast path in this.
