Summary: Access violation in call to map

Initial Comment:
This call:

results in an access violation (read of NULL pointer) 
under Python 2.1b2 (Win32 binaries downloaded from 
Sourceforge).  OS in Win2000.

Eek!

>>> None(*None)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is Ping's fault.  In ext_do_call the code that tries to
work out the function name assumes that func is a
PyFunctionObject, where in fact it can be anything at all,
because this is called before the check to see whether we
really have a callable!  Oops.

Anyway, look at patch #414743 for my attempted fix.
