This (Readline using PyObject) was due to my recent change to fix
Guido's problem last night.
I didn't realize anything seeped out.  All calls to PyOS_StdioReadline
would need to be updated. I can do that tonight.  Hmm, that means this
will be an API change.  I wonder if I should revert my fix and just
deal with a second alloc and copy of the data to fix Guido's original
problem.
