I was suspecting this, that's why I build the debugging version of
Python. I hoped I would get the error message somewhere near the code
causing the error, but I seems i have to continue the search.

That would have been easy :-) I have only one occurrence of
PyModule_AddObject, and its PyTypeObject is Py_INCREF()ed
