[Ramchandra Apte]

New submission from Ramchandra Apte <maniandram01 at gmail.com>:

delattr(__builtins__,"getattr") causes shell to stop working
if you type some code in nothing gets printed back
if you press enter without typing any code you get a traceback

Exception in thread SockThread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
