Dear Martin,

Please understand that the patches are likely ignored if sent to
python-dev. Instead, please submit them to sf.net/projects/python. It
would be good if
a) you could unified (-u) or context (-c) diffs, and
b) the patches would be generally applicable to all systems, or,
   if this is not feasible,
c) patches specific to AIX would not harm operation of other systems

Regards,
Martin
