I've compiled Python from the 2.3.3 sources, running on
RH Linux 8.

In pythonrun.c there is a line: codeset=strdup(codeset)
Later it is assigned to Py_FilesystemDefaultEncoding,
which is never freed. In other cases a constant is
assigned to it which need not to be freed. This is only
a small leak, but definitely one.

Why is this a leak? Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding refers to
the string until the process terminates, so the string is
not garbage (and thus not a leak)
