New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:

Similar to issue #11849, this patch proposes to use VirtualAlloc/VirtualFree to 
allocate the Python allocator's memory arenas (rather than malloc() / free()). 
It might help release more memory if there is some fragmentation, although I 
don't know how Microsoft's malloc() works.
