[Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon at redhat dot com>]

David Malcolm's GCC plug-in found another bug where we lose a reference.

The first case is we do not decrement "result" after a call to
"python_string_to_host_string".  That function returns a xstrdup of the
string PyObject contents, and so "result" does not need to be preserved.

The second case is where we type-check the object, and if it is not a
Python string we set an exception without decrementing "result".

OK?

Cheers,

Phil
