Summary: infrequent memory leak in pyexpat
Initial Comment:
In pyexpat.c, the macro call for the handler dispatch
(my##NAME##Handler) for CharacterHandler allocates an
object implicitly by calling one of the conversion-to-
unicode routines.
If there is a problem in the PyBuildValue, resulting
in args == NULL, that object will be leaked.
Low priority, but the macros probably need some
reworking to handle this.

That seems to be a bug in Py_BuildValue: It should decref
its N arguments if it can't create a tuple.
