Sorry, this list does not claim completeness. If I fixed a bug
2+
immediately upon receiving the first complaint I usually did not
3+
nother to make an ehtry in this file, unless it was a serious bug
4+
(core dump or infinite loop).
5+
6+
==> Status indicators: (-) not fixed; (?) fix proposed but not
7+
confirmed; (*) fixed.

======================================================================
10+
BUGS found in 1.0.3
11+
-------------------
12+
13+
(*) vars() error message is wrong (copied from dir() obviously).
14+
15+
(*) socket.gethostname() is undocumented.
16+
17+
(*) rfc822.py: getfirst* dies when multiple headers occur
18+
19+
(-) urllib caching is wrong (should use date from Expires header)
20+
21+
(*) On a related matter: regexpr.c still has two malloc()s the results
22+
of which are not tested for being NULL (lines 1253 and 1530). There
23+
are also some in rgbimagemodule.c. Am I overlooking something or is
24+
this a crasher?
25+
26+
(*) strop.rindex('abc', '') returns 0 instead of 3
27+
28+
(*) sunaudiodevmodule.o is too long!
29+
30+
(-) need newer DOS binary (16 bit version doesn't do default args)
31+
32+
(-) toplevel README needs new text on PC and Mac builds
33+
34+
(*) long(0x80000000) has wrong value!
35+
36+

37+
Bugs found in 1.0.2 and not yet fixed
38+
-------------------------------------
39+
40+
(-) compiler warnings about argument type of uname() on ULTRIX
41+
machines
42+
43+
(-) syntax error for interactive input prints garbage instead of last
44+
source line on some systems (e.g. AIX)
45+
46+
(?) (maybe) a bad .pyc file (with old magic number) causes the .py
47+
file to be ignored
48+
49+
(-) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
50+
- timelocal instead of mktime
51+
- unistd.h doesn't declare some functions
52+
53+
Bugs found in 1.0.2 and fixed in 1.0.3
54+
--------------------------------------
55+
56+
(*) nasty bug in string formatting (see test_types.py, search for %)
57+
58+
(*) if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote followed by a newline
59+
(followed immediately by the terminating 3 quotes) then a syntax error
60+
or system error ensues
61+
62+
(*) bug in socket.listen: clipping backlog to >= 1 doesn't work
63+
64+
(*) two bogus XDEL's in Modules/regexmodule.reg_dealloc()
65+
66+
(*) Parser/myreadline.my_fgets: #endif EINTR misplaced
67+
68+
(*) new IP address for ftp.cwi.nl !!!
69+
70+
(*) typing vars() to interactive prompt runs into infinite loop
71+
because of '_'
72+
73+
(*) tokenizer/tok_nextc() runs into infinite loop when file does not
74+
end in linefeed
75+
76+
(*) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
77+
(*) - use size_t at some places without including sys/types.h
78+
(*) - missing clock_t
79+
(*) - uses SEEK_SET in some places that don't include unistd.h
80+

======================================================================
82+
Bugs found in 1.0.1 and not yet fixed
83+
-------------------------------------
84+
85+
(-) modsupport.c(vmkvalue): on systems where va_list is an array, the
86+
calls to do_mkvalue and do_mktuple don't want an "&" before va.
87+
88+
(?) threads are slow on Solaris 2
89+
90+
(?) threads cause myreadline.c's readline() to think it sees an EOF.
91+
92+
(-) min() on PC version generates wrong result (i.e. same as max())
93+
[this happens on SoftPC -- don't know about other systems]
94+

96+
all forms returns only the cashed form

152+
153+
