I've closed 26243 and 23992, I need to look at 23998 a little deeper to make
sure it's fixed.

I've added a comment to this one.  Personally my vote is (and has been for some
Time) to move all method binder bugs to IronPython 3k.  Method binding is subtle 
enough and changing it could break existing code that we should tread carefully.  
Also this bug has been there since 2007 and no one seems to have run into it in 
the real world.
