      9 Always use malloc() and free() directly in this file.  A number of these
     10 functions are advertised as safe to call when the GIL isn't held, and in
     11 a debug build Python redirects (e.g.) PyMem_NEW (etc) to Python's debugging
     12 obmalloc functions.  Those aren't thread-safe (they rely on the GIL to avoid
     13 the expense of doing their own locking).
