function ast_error_finish

It first gets the errstr, for a possible early out.
If there is an error string, it is increfed, but it is 
not decrefed on the other early outs.  (lineno==-1 and 
failure to build a tmp.


"""
    Py_INCREF(errstr);
    lineno = PyInt_AsLong(PyTuple_GetItem(value, 1));
    if (lineno == -1)
return;
    Py_DECREF(value);

    loc = PyErr_ProgramText(filename, lineno);
    if (!loc) {
Py_INCREF(Py_None);
loc = Py_None;
    }
    tmp = Py_BuildValue("(ziOO)", filename, lineno, 
Py_None, loc);
    Py_DECREF(loc);
    if (!tmp)
return;
    value = Py_BuildValue("(OO)", errstr, tmp);
    Py_DECREF(errstr);

ISTM that we don't need the INCREF or DECREF for errstr.  Do
you agree?
