In 2.3, PyMemNEW resolves to malloc() in a release build, but not a debug build (in a debug build, all Python memory API calls go through pymalloc). This may be vaguely relevant, since Marc said

This doesn't happen if either --without-pymalloc or --with-pydebug is given.

To summarize your analysis: In Marc's build, malloc is being called directly, for PyMem_NEW. Right?
