Summary: possible memory leak in posixmodule.c

Initial Comment:
when posix_error is called a PyObject is returned,
then ignored in the caller.

it seems that this might lead to memory leaks.
this patch calls Py_DECREF(posix_error())
in all the places that previously ignored the return
value.

i'm not sure if this is correct or not.
i didn't find any problems with the regression
tests when running with this patch.
