Summary: global made w/nested list comprehensions

Initial Comment:
This bug affects Python 2.1.1 & 2.2a4+.

In nested list comprehension code like this:

        [bad for s in 'a b' for bad in s.split()]

the variable bad becomes a global, but it should be
local variable.

The attached file shows the disassembled byte code,
along with a test case.

The original source of the error was found from
cgi.py:209
in the standard library:

    pairs = [s2 for s1 in qs.split('&') for s2 in
s1.split(';')]

Good catch! I don't know the list comprehension code
generation, and I don't know who does. Maybe Thomas Wouters?
