On further investigation, it turned out that it was caused by a bug in my
code generator that caused one extension class to be initialised before
its base class (in fact, that particular extension class shouldn't have
had any base classes).  It was just the cyclic GC code triggering the bug.

It will be fixed in the next snapshot of pygtk for GTK+ 2.0
