Jim, can you test out this patch for the leak. It does away with tp_alloc 
altogether and tp_new simply calls MpTable_New(). I think this should be okay.

I'll test it, but I may not get to it today. Tomorrow for sure though. If your patch fixes this leak I think we should proceed with a dev snapshot - a kind of 3.3.x alpha release. :)

Memory leak apache.table()

         Issue Type: Bug
         Components: core
   Affects Versions: 3.3, 3.2.10

There is a memory leak in apache.table().
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
    req.content_type = 'text/plain'
    t = apache.make_table()
    req.write('ok table:')
    return apache.OK
Using mpm-worker with StartServers 2, and 20000 requests results in memory 
consumption going from 1.2% to 9.3% per process. (ie approx 8k per request)
This will have an impact on FieldStorage which makes use of 
apache.make_table(), which is the deprecated name for apache.table()
