Summary: segfault in os module
Initial Comment:
python crashes when a bad parameters are passed to execl function
of the os module:
>>> import os
>>> os.execl("/bin/bash")
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
No matter the platform (on ppc raises a bus error) and the version of
C compiler, always crashes, python versions used are 2.4.1 and
2.4c1.
Proved on MacOSX (ppc), and Knoppix, Red Hat Enterprise
and debian woody 3.0 (x86).
However, on 2.2.3 version not crashes.

This behaviour was introduced with the fixing of bug
#952953, where someone complained that he couldn't call
execl with only one argument.
I tried this directly on the C layer on Linux, and it
segfaults too.
Are there OSes where this is legal?
