I don't know, but you can change

    PyObject_HEAD_INIT(NULL)
    0, /* ob_size */

to

    PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT(NULL, 0)

That won't work on Python 2.5 or earlier, but it should work under
Python 2.6 and 2.7. I don't have any real reason to believe this to be
the problem, but it could be worth a try.
