Robin,
it's probably a good idea to enter this into the standard Python bug database. 
Modules have had this initialization code since the very beginning, but it is 
something that should change now that we have dynamically loaded modules and 
all such.

Not doing the Py_FatalError may not be a good option, though: it could well be 
that the outer layers of the importing code also expect the initxxxx() 
routines to always succeed, so fixing this may be more work than it looks.
