This was hard to debug using any build of python with
its own memory allocator enabled. This prevents malloc
debug tools from finding the  real location of the leak.

I build python with --without-pymalloc which tells python
to use malloc and free.

valgrind then found the memory leak and a coding error.

This is fixed in r232. Please test in your setup and confirm
the memory leak is fixed.
