Summary: Several objects don't decref tmp on failure in subtype_new

Initial Comment:
Several objects have a something_subtype_new which
creates a new object of a given subtype that if the
subtype creation routine fails for any reason, returns
NULL but leaves a temporary variable with a reference.  

The only normal reason this would occur is if you ran
out of memory (in which case it wouldn't matter), but I
don't think the core can predict that it knows that to
be the only reason an unknown subtype might return NULL
in it's alloc.
