[Bug 1082229] [NEW] pyvorbis segfault invalid free

[EliotBlennerhassett]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS  (I expect this problem persists in 12.10, but don't have that installed to test it)
Package python-pyvorbis 1.5-1ubuntu1

segfaults in py_file_new (When used by pytone app scanning for ogg
files)

root cause is a mismatched pairing of PyMem_DEL with PyObject_NEW

Attached patch replaces PyMem_DEL with PyObject_Del, and incidentally
PyObject_NEW with PyObject_New.

I have rebuilt and installed this package, and the segfault no longer
occurs.

BTW I'm having a hard time figuring out where the ultimate upstream
bugtracker resides...

** Affects: pyvorbis (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "Correctly delete object if ogg file can't be opened"
