[issue8212] A tp_dealloc of a subclassed class cannot resurrect an object

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

Here is a patch that rectifies this situation, albeit in a somewhat 'hacky' manner.
It works by injecting a monitoring 'tp_free' call into the type during the basedealloc call, which sets a flag if it was called with the object, i.e. if actual deletion took place.
This value is then returned, and a decision to decref the object's "type" is made on this result.
