exec("something with a syntax error") produces different error messages under CPython 2.7

[ironpythonbot]

Besides the small repro below, please note that CPython 2.7 no longer exactly preserves whitespace as it was in the string passed to exec. E.g., "\r\n" is now consistently turned into "\n".

D:\rft\vsl\dlr\Languages\IronPython\Tests>26 -c "exec('print 1\ndef f()\rprint 3')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "", line 2
print 3 f()

       ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
