I'm fairly sure this is the type_new() bug in Python 2.2.1, which
causes Python to dump core creating ExtensionClass types.  This is one
of the reasons to do 2.2.2 now.  The effect of the bug varies with
platform.  On some platforms (like mine), the garbage memory it reads
is usually NULL and so it has no effect.
