Summary: Missing INCREF in PyType_Ready
Initial Comment:
In PyType_Ready() if the type object you are readying
does not explicitly define its tp_base value, it will
default to use PyBaseObject_Type.
However, this assignment does not INCREF the
PyBaseObject_Type pointer. Thus, for heap allocated
type objects, when the type_dealloc() function is
called, a DECREF is called on tp_base which can
eventually cause PyBaseObject_Type refcount go to 0,
at which point bad things happen.

I'm not sure this is actually a real problem. I don't think
you can get into the "base == NULL" case with a heap type...
