[Python-Dev] RE: [Zope-Coders] core dump in Zope 2.7 test suite

[Jeremy Hylton]

I've applied the latest patch to the head, 2.3, and 2.2 branches.  It
looks like it isn't necessary on the 2.1 branch.  While the
small-Unicode-keepalive code is still there, the length-one Unicode
strings aren't immortal.  Since there is no-special case code looking at
str[0], it appears unnecessary to initialize it.
