[New-bugs-announce] [issue1237] type_new doesn't allocate space for sentinal slot

[Adam Olsen]

New submission from Adam Olsen:

type_new() allocates the exact number of slots it's going to use, but
various other functions assume there's one more slot with a NULL name
field serving as a sentinel.  I'm unsure why it doesn't normally crash.
