I've just finished running some tests with current pyRXPU and Python-
2.2.2 compiled with memory checks on. On my freeBSD system I used
ElectricFence and on win32 I used the built in debugging malloc.

I get no memory errors with these combos. So I need either to try stuff
with Python-2.1 or get reports on what platforms are failing.
