It's very likely that your extension has a reference counting bug. It
looks like you are either missing a Py_INCREF or you have a Py_DECREF
too much. Newly freed memory is filled with 0xDB (see Objects/obmalloc.c
DEADBYTE).
Wild guess: Are you using PyModule_AddObject with a PyTypeObject w/o
Py_INCREF()ing the type object first?
