Rob was kind enough to send me some code to trigger the bug.  The
winner is ... tupleobject.c!  When MAXSAVESIZE is zero Rob's
program seems to work fine.  I think Pmw uses lots of tuples.

Looking closely at the code I see that _PyTuple_Resize is almost
certainly buggy.  I think something is wrong with PyTuple_New as
well.  I'll have to come up with a patch later as it is much to
late now for me to fully understand such hairy code. :(
