Summary: unchecked metaclass mro
Initial Comment:
this bug was fixed in python2.5, but it's worth adding
to 2.4.4.
metaclasses can return an "insane" mro, which confuses
the PyXXX_Check checks, and causes memory corruption.
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> class crasher(object):
... class __metaclass__(type):
... def mro(self):
... return (str, int, list)
...
>>> c = crasher("hello")
>>> c # a very strange object
''
>>> dir(c)
[]
>>> c.append(5)
# <access violation - program crashes>
