Using ActivePython, v2.2.2

I was reading PEP252 and trying stupid things, like this:

k [ 0:51] python
ActivePython 2.2.2 Build 224 (ActiveState Corp.) based 
on
Python 2.2.2 (#37, Nov 26 2002, 10:24:37) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32

information.
>>> def func(): pass
...
>>> f = func.__get__()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: function takes at least 1 argument (0 given)
>>> f = func.__get__(None)
>>> f()    # This gives a reasonable result
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unbound method func() must be called with ? 
instance as first argument (got nothing instead)
>>> f(1)    # This crashes accessing a null pointer

It seems to be fixed in 2.3CVS:

>>> f = func.__get__(None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: __get__(None, None) is invalid

The fix needs to be backported to the 2.2 branch.

Bumping priority.  Barry, do you want to handle this for 2.2.3?

Yes, let's try to get this fix into 2.2.3 final.  I'll look at it if nobody beats me 
to it.

Fixed by backporting typeobject.c 2.206 patch.  I also added
a simple test.
