Brown bag time?

Perhaps a rather quick Py2.4.1 would be in order.   Ideally, it should include other important fixes:   * Tim's critical thread bug    http://www.python.org/sf/1069160    * Compile of _socket fails on 2.4 (SGI Orion only)    http://www.python.org/sf/1086642    (waiting for a developer who has this set-up)   * sys.stdin segfaults on invalid stdin    http://www.python.org/sf/1084766    (Jeff Epler has already isolated the problem)
