Summary: codecs.open().readlines(sizehint) bug

Initial Comment:
codecs.open().readlines(sizehint) can return truncated
lines.  The attached script, which uses
readlines(sizehint) to count the number of lines in a
file, demonstrates the problem.  Correct output would
be 1000 in both cases, but different values are
returned depending on sizehint because of the truncated
lines.

The script triggers the assertion error using at least
python 2.3.2 (locally compiled) and python 2.2.2 (redhat 9 RPM)
