New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If a PyTokenizer_FromString() is called with an empty string, the 
tokenizer's line_start member never gets initialized.  Later, it is 
compared with the token pointer 'a' in parsetok.c:193 and that behavior 
can result in undefined behavior.
Found using Rational Purify for windows.
A patch is provided.
