Summary: fix obscure crash in descriptor handling

Initial Comment:
Ages & ages back twouters pointed out a potential hole in 
PyObject_GenericGetAttr.  I've come up with a testcase & a 
fix, attached to this report.

Are there any other bits of code shaped like 
PyObject_GenericGetAttr?  I've fixed type_getattro.

upload new patch that has a test that doesn't call gc.get_referrers 
on the integer 1 and thus create uncollectable cycles (or 
something like that, anyway).
