Summary: deepcopy can't copy self-referential new-style classes

Initial Comment:
Given this code:

import copy
class Foo(object):
    pass
f = Foo()
f.bar = f
g = copy.deepcopy(f)

You will find with Python 2.3a2 and 2.2.2:

f is f.bar   ->  True
g is g.bar   ->  False
g is not f   -> True
g.bar is not f   -> True

Obviously, all the statements should be True.
