[New-bugs-announce] [issue2784] fast builtin sum may leak

[Jean Brouwers]

New submission from Jean Brouwers <MrJean1 at Gmail.com>:

The new, fast builtin sum implementation may cause a memory leak in the 
float loop.  Both lines

    PyFPE_START_PROTECT("add", return 0)

should be changed to

    PyFPE_START_PROTECT("add", Py_DECREF(item); Py_DECREF(iter); return 
0)

The attached file bltinmodule1.c.diff contain a patch to that extent.
