Martin, I believe you've hit the nail on the head.  My latest Insure
run backs this theory up.  It even claims that st_cur is lost by the
de-allocation of st in PySymtable_Free().

I'm betting that Jeremy will be able to quickly figure out where the
missing frees are when I send him the Insure report.
