This is indeed a bug in the function, and could have caused memory leaks
because of not releasing the preallocated tuple.

Since this is evident, I fixed it by now (Python/bltinmodule.c r2.318.2.1 and
r2.322), but in the future you should always post patches to SourceForge to
avoid crowding python-dev.

But above all, thank you for spotting this issue and helping to make Python
more bug-free!
