Summary: textwrap.wrap infinite loop

Initial Comment:
textwrap.wrap appears to go into an infinite loop
when called with a width <= 0.  I don't know what the
correct 
behavior  here should be, but I'm guessing this isn't it.

Maybe it should be throwing an exception?

OK, that's pretty easy to check.  Test added in rev 1.20 of
Lib/test/test_textwrap.py, fix in rev 1.25 of Lib/textwrap.py .
