[capi-sig] Segfault when using own C-written module and exiting python

[Laurent Gautier]

I have probably found the problem. I report it here in case someone
has the same issue later.

In my tp_new I had:

PyObject_New(MyType, type);

(and it was working just fine until I started with subclasses)

while it seems that it should have been:

type->tp_alloc(type, 0);
