2 is necessary to let the tests pass on Fedora. It can be taken without 
the 1 that made it possible to find the problem.

6 fixes existing test failure with Python 2.4, 2.4.1 and 2.4.2. The 
2.4.2 on the build farm must be a patched version.

8 is an augmented version of Stéphane's original patch, augmented with 
some test coverage. If you want it without 7 then just ignore the test 
changes ... or take Stéphane's version.
