Fixed problem identified by Georg. The special-case in-place code for replace
made a copy of the string using PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, n) and modify the copied string in-place. However, 1 (and 0) character strings are shared from a cache. This cause "A".replace("A", "a") to change the cached version of "A" -- used by everyone. Now may the copy with NULL as the string and do the memcpy manually. I've added regression tests to check if this happens in the future. Perhaps there should be a PyString_Copy for this case?
