New Revision: 47261

Added:
   python/trunk/Lib/test/crashers/borrowed_ref_1.py   (contents, props changed)
   python/trunk/Lib/test/crashers/borrowed_ref_2.py   (contents, props changed)
Log:
A couple of examples about how to attack the fact that _PyType_Lookup()
returns a borrowed ref.  Many of the calls are open to attack.
