Comment:

 Nice sleuthing!

 But things don't seem very straightforward at all here: the refcounting
 there in itself seems perfectly solid. Before fixing this, the reason for
 the failure should preferably be better understood, and explained as a
 comment in the code.

 The issue seems to be something like this: when Python exits, it
 deallocates stuff. However, the numpy module is deallocated before some
 stuff that tries to use after deallocation -> bomb.

 It might be a hint that the failure occurs only in umath_tests -- maybe
 there's something amiss there?
