This allows findsource() to work in doctests. A patch from Dirkjan Ochtman. Either this exception should be mentioned in the inspect.getsource() documentation or else doctest should be monkeypatching inspect as well as linecache.

I should have made more clear in the message that this is actually a regression from 2.6.
