Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation. The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes in. The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
