Description

Jeff Robbins reported a potential memory leak in mod_python as a result of PyThreadState_Clear() not being called prior to PyThreadState_Delete. See:

Problem looks to be valid, but as per followup:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-python-dev/200610.mbox/[e-mail]%3e

the location of the PyThreadState_Clear() call would need to be moved to before the lock is released.
