I'd like some help with fixing a bug in dictobject.c. The bug is on SourceForge as #112558, and my attempted fix is SourceForge patch #101277. The original bug is that exceptions raised by an object's cmp() during dictionary lookup are not cleared, and can be propogated during a subsequent lookup attempt. I've made more detailed comments at SourceForge at the patch:

Thanks for any suggestions!
