Summary: test_builtin hangs on MacOSX 10.2.1

Initial Comment:
Test_builtin appears to hang on Mac OS X 10.2.1, in the 'list' section. Actually, if you are low on swapspace (or, equivalently, on freespace on your system drive) it may hang your whole system.

Python cannot be interrupted (control-c) at this moment, but I'm sometimes able to control-z and kill.

My guess right now is that 10.2.1 overcommits memory and that this somehow hangs Python. I have never seen this problem on 10.1.X or 10.2, but I will investigate.

Test_builtin contained a bug, the intention was to test malloc failure but the amount allocated was actually possible on Jaguar (and some other platforms). The test has been fixed.

I think this is a duplicate of # 616019.
