[Python-Dev] mac memory leaks

[Neal Norwitz]

I had a friend run regrtest -L on Mac OSX a while ago.  There are
several memory leaks which still appear to be an issue.  There are a
bunch of leaks reported from  putenv which I'm not sure how to fix

The attached patch should correct one of the problems.  Can someone
with a Mac test it?  I'll add to SF later if I don't get a response.

I'm not sure about how to fix these or if they are real problems:
