I said it before & I'll say it again:  "just do it"!  Was there some
opposition to this cleanup I've failed to notice on Python-Dev?

The "overcommitting Linux malloc" work issue I mentioned before looks like
it will require us to fiddle Python to use a homegrown malloc (that touches
every allocated byte to make sure the memory "is really there" <sheesh>), so
with or without an official patch we're going to have to get the effect of
it.  So far, my boss is highly in favor of Vladimir doing the work instead
of me <0.6 wink>.
