Comment:
Hmm, he may be right. I think that setting the ob_type pointer to zero before calling the dealloc function (which only happens in Py_DEBUG mode) is indeed a bug! For example, deallocating a class instance with a __del__ destructor that revives the object would be a disaster, since the revived object would not have a type any more.

Given to Neil, who can judge why this was done, and may check in a fix if he agrees.
