Why would I Py_DECREF(pdict)?  Its reference count has never been
increased.  I also don't want to return None, because that's not going to
signal to Python that something went wrong.  I have to return NULL.

Yes, we have more memory leaks here.  But I want to fix the core dump and
super weird behavior that Rich is seeing first.  The rest hasn't been a
problem so far, and can continue to be ignored for a bit.
