#121 Memory leak in glInterleavedArrays, glVertexPointer, etc

[Jeff Epler]

The attached simple program shows that the refcount of
the single string '' increases each time it is the
argument to glInterleavedArrays or glVertexPointer. In
the actual program, the behavior is instead a memory
leak, as the parameter results each time from the
method array.array.tostring().

I think this problem is caused by the implementation of
_PyObject_AsPointer, in interface_util.c.
There should be a Py_DECREF(x) before returning from this
function since the PyObject_Str() call is returning a new
reference (which is currently never freed)
