Summary: Erroneous code objects created with PyCode_New

Initial Comment:
If you copy a code object by calling say new.code with
just the members of an existing code object with
free/cell variables - such as the following nested example:

def null():
    return None

def wrapfunc(func):
    def _inner(*args):
       return func(*args)
    return _inner

wrapped = wrapfunc(null)

code_object = wrapped.func_code

new_code_object = new.code(<  code_object  >)


then the new_code_object will not have had its
free/cell vars removed and will thus not disassemble
correctly.  Furthermore 
if you create a function out of it, then calling the
function will raise - 
SystemError:
R:Python23srcPython-2.3.2Objectscellobject.c:
22: bad argument to internal function

Looking at the code in PyCode_New I can't see why this
should happen.

(Bug noticed on Python 2.3.2 on windows)

Assuming this is fixed.

I don't think this is still a bug any longer. 
new.function() seems to require closure be passed in if the
function has cell variables.

When I disassemble new_code_object, I get the same as the
original.
