New submission from Masaya Suzuki:

Python 2.7.3 crushes when the following code is run without any library, which 
means run python with -S option:

    class Test:
        pass
    unicode(Test())

In the course of the interpreter tries to find the "__unicode__" attribute in a 
class, it uses a cached python string of "__unicode__". The reason of this 
crush is that the cached value is used before initialized. It is initialized 
only when trying to find the one of a new-style class, so the interpreter will 
crush if one uses only classic classes.

The attached patch will fix this issue by initializing a cached value before it 
is used.

Thanks.
