Bug Description

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...
