Hi,

the code that exhibits the buggy PyObject_NEW/PyMem_DEL behaviour (in  
xen-unstable-3.0-unstable+hg11561/tools/pygrub/src/fsys/ext2/ext2module.c) 
is not actually compiled and the results shipped[1]. As such, while a  
fix still seems to be worthwile it does not affect the python2.5  
release goal. I am thus removing the usertag. Just be that it does  
not get activated its present buggy form.

(CCing debian-python because the bugs will disappear from the  
release-goal list.)

Kind regards

T.

1. It should compile a module _ext2, I did not find any indication  
that it is contained in the binary packages.
