The C API requires using the same memory API for a given memory block,
which will show up as a segfault, at least in python2.5. This code was
found by a search of all sources build-depending on python-dev, having
a PyObject_ function for allocation and a PyMem_ function for
deallocation in the same file. This may be a real problem, or a false
positive.
The most common error seen is of the form:
PyObject *
new_wadobject(WadFrame *f, int count) {
wadobject *self;
self = PyObject_NEW(wadobject, &WadObjectType);
[...]
}
static void
wadobject_dealloc(wadobject *self) {
PyMem_DEL(self);
}
This particular example can be fixed with replacing PyMem_DEL with
PyObject_Del.

Please set the severity of this report to "serious", if it is a real
problem, please close the report if it is a false positive. Ask
