Subject: Re: Should StringIO support to_str ?

Does this patch, as yet untested, provide a sufficient fix?  I'm not
sure about the correct way to create ChangeLog entries, so hand
edited that with an approx time. (I believe I created this against
the 1.8 CVS, though I didn't provide an exact release number to
the `cvs update -d` command done in the correct dir, so hope it
didn't update from the head.)

        Hugh, meddling in tha affairs of wizards again!
