RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead.  Prior to this RED_FLAG,

1.  If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
    null byte.  That's useless (the caller can find that without any
    help from this function!).

2.  If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
    buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
    vector holding the character buffer).  That was downright dangerous.

Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless:  if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.
