This fragment of import.c:

  mtime = PyOS_GetLastModificationTime(pathname, fp);
  if (mtime == (time_t)(-1))
     return NULL;

is missing a PyErr_SetString(), so in at least one circumstance (an 
__init__.py file with an apparent mtime of 1 Jan 1970 created by a 
bug in darcs on debian linux) it produces "SystemError: NULL 
result without error in PyObject_Call".
