Summary: SystemError with deque

Initial Comment:
If I run the following script, it causes a SystemError.
# start of program
from collections import deque

d1 = deque()
d2 = deque()

class A:
    def __eq__(self, other):
        d1.pop()
        d1.appendleft(1)
        return 1

d1.extend((0, 1))
d2.extend((A(), 1))

d1 == d2
# end of program

$ python2.4 deque_demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "deque_demo.py", line 15, in ?
    d1 == d2
SystemError: error return without exception set

This error happens if
- __eq__ returns values that are interpreted as True.
- appendleft is used insted of append.

Tested on Python 2.4a3(Win) and python2.4 from CVS 
as of 2004/10/15.

I attached this program for convenience.

I think that has been fixed.  Please reverify with Py2.4b1
when it comes out.
