Summary: Can't multiply str and bool

Initial Comment:
Bug in 2.3a2+: 'abc' * True raises a TypeError:
unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'str' and 'bool' .

site.py does:  initial_slashes = path.startswith('/');
  path = '/'*initial_slashes + path .
This now fails.

I can't replicate it, so presumably my tree got messed up at some point.

Hm... puzzling.  I'll try to replicate it tomorrow, and will
close the bug if I can't.

C:\pydev>python
I cannot reproduce the bug:

v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more

>>> 'abc' * True
'abc'
