Believe me, we would not have shipped 2.1b2 if it failed any of the std tests
(and I ran the whole suite 8 ways:  with and without nuking all .pyc/.pyo
files first, with and without -O, and under release and debug builds).

On my box that line is:

__version__ = "$Revision: 1.9 $".split()[1]

So this is this some CVS retrieval screwup?
