Hm. Seems like if this is a problem, the code for the other three
exceptions is being a bit careless: it does do Py_INCREFs on them,
but not soon enough to ensure no problems. Also, I wonder why that
code checks for a null result from PyErr_NewException but this doesn't.
Good catch though. A naive person would have assumed that
PyModule_AddObject would increment the object's refcount, but
the Python docs say "This steals a reference to value", which
I guess must mean that the caller is required to do it.
