This is fixed on the Python 2.6 maintenance branch (revision 73997) but 
needs fixing on trunk. No problem applying the fix but I'm struggling to 
test this without causing spurious extra output on stderr. The style of 
dependency injection used means that merely overriding sys.stderr does 
nothing and a custom stream can't be used as we want to test the default 
initialisation behavior.
