In an asynch I/O situation, calling PyErr_Warn() is out of the
question (it invokes Python code!).

I propose to make it a fatal error -- after all the only reason why
bf_releasefixedbuffer could fail should be that the caller makes a
mistake.  Since that's a bug in C code, a fatail error is acceptable.
