Excerpts from Daniel Popowich's message of mar ene 18 13:30:04 -0300 2011:

> I traced the bug to PLy_result_slice() in src/pl/plpython/plpython.c.  That
> function calls the python API function PyList_GetSlice() and erroneously
> increments the reference count before returning the result to the caller.
> PyList_GetSlice returns a *new* reference, not a borrowed one, so it should
> just return the object as-is.
>
> A patch is attached below.

Thanks, applied and backpatched all the way back to 8.2.
