[issue20066] PyStructSequence_NewType() not setting proper heap allocation flag?

[Wolf Ihlenfeldt]

New submission from Wolf Ihlenfeldt:

If I am not mistaken, I think that PyStructSequence_NewType() should set the Py_TPFLAGS_HEAPTYPE flag in tp->flags (which it currently does not). The original version initially works fine, but ultimately crashes at exit time in finalization with

Fatal Python error: type_traverse() called for non-heap type 'E_FILE'

Setting the flag manually after creation lets the problem disappear.
