Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-487:
------------------------------------

Sounds right. I recommend acquiring the GIL in a base 
{{PandasBlock::~PandasBlock}} and manually releasing / DECREF-ing the arrays

> Python: ConvertTableToPandas segfaults if ObjectBlock::Write fails

> My first guess: The segfault occurs in `OwnedRef::~OwnedRef` with a NumPy 
> array. This might be either the cause of NumPy trying to release garbage 
> objects (as the array is not filled yet) or because we don't have locked the 
> GIL during the deconstruction.
