This is indeed a bug in the function, and could have caused memory leaks because of not releasing the preallocated tuple. Since this is evident, I fixed it by now (Python/bltinmodule.c r2.318.2.1 and r2.322), but in the future you should always post patches to SourceForge to avoid crowding python-dev.

Thanks, i promise next time i'll post to SourceForge :)

But above all, thank you for spotting this issue and helping to make Python more bug-free!

Glad i was somehow helpful.
