Summary: infrequent memory leak in pyexpat

Initial Comment:
In pyexpat.c, the macro call for the handler dispatch 
(my##NAME##Handler) for CharacterHandler allocates an 
object implicitly by calling one of the conversion-to-
unicode routines.  

If there is a problem in the PyBuildValue, resulting 
in args == NULL, that object will be leaked.

Low priority, but the macros probably need some 
reworking to handle this.
