The lines above are a modification to Travis' patch,  so basically the 
same place:

*******
        a = NA_FromDimsStridesTypeAndData(arrayif->nd, shape, strides, 
t, arrayif->data);
        if (!a) goto _fail;

!       a->base = cobj;

        return a;

-------
        a = NA_FromDimsStridesTypeAndData(arrayif->nd, shape, strides, 
t, arrayif->data);
        if (!a) goto _fail;

!       Py_INCREF(obj);
!       Py_XDECREF(a->base);
!       a->base = obj;
!       Py_DECREF(cobj);

        return a;
