A fix for bug 702858, which concerns the inability of copy.deepcopy to correctly process reflexive new-style class instances, that is, instances referring to themselves. The fix is one line; the other 51 lines in the patch are altered and enhanced altered tests in test_copy.py for this kind of thing.

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 This patch works on 2.3. I'm not sure if this is fixing a bug or a feature. The change seems reasonable, but I don't know enough about copy to know if there are any negative consequences. I can check in if someone else agrees. Tim? Guido?

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 Looks fine to me; classic instances already did the same thing. Thanks, Steven!

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I'm working on this (slowly). It wasn't a simple backport.
