The C runtime doesn't create objects.  Python does use it to allocate
memory, but in the Microsoft run-times, malloc and free call the Win32 heap
APIs, no matter what the version.

It's true that mallocing in one CRT DLL and freeing in another can cause
problems, but in Python, I don't think that can happen.  Proper Python
add-ins call Python APIs to create and destroy objects, so only the Python
runtime will manage the memory.
