in file Object/abstract.c, in function ternary_op, in
the second test which computes slotw :
    	if (w->ob_type != v->ob_type &&
    	    mv != NULL && NEW_STYLE_NUMBER(w)) {
    	    ^^^
the test for mv is obviously a typo and should be
replaced by mw :
    	if (w->ob_type != v->ob_type &&
    	    mw != NULL && NEW_STYLE_NUMBER(w)) {
    	    ^^^
This gives an inconsistent behavior of the ** operator
which refuses to use the __rpow__ method when the first
operand does not have a number methods.
