Yet believable, given how many reports of "pymalloc failures" we've seen
over the last couple years.

I choose to look at the bright side:  all the modules you listed used *some*
way to spell "get memory" when getting memory, and some way to spell
"release memory" when releasing memory.  We can deduce from that exactly how
much users can keep straight <wink>.
