Summary: Replace a whole string with empty string
Initial Comment:
Replaceing a whole string with an empty string is behaving differently in Unix and windows
environment. It raises a memory error in Unix as shown below:
UNIX RUN:
Python 2.1 (#18, May 24 2001, 14:56:32) [C] on osf1V4
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x = 'test'
>>> x.replace('test','')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
MemoryError
The same test has passed in Windows environment:
PythonWin 2.1 (#15, Apr 16 2001, 18:25:49) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> x = 'test'
>>> x.replace('test','')
''
>>> x
'test'

I tried to reproduce this on Linux but did not succeed. Could this be a compiler optimization problem on the OSF
system ? Does the same problem occur if you compile Python without optimization ?
