New submission from Sebastian Thiel <byron...@gmail.com>:

The section starting with:
"If a class defines a slot also defined in a base class, the instance
variable
  defined by the base class slot is inaccessible rendering the meaning
of the
  program undefined. [...]"

would need to be revisited as it claims that a check for this issue
might be added in future. As far as I can tell, it has been added in
Python 2.4 or earlier as I get a TypeError in that case.

The attached diff is my attempt to fix this issue.

Kind Regards, 
Sebastian
