Comment(by Emmanuel Giasson <zirconia_@…>):

 I just realized that my fix may cause another bug should the application
 "reset" the Python interpreter (such as calling Py_Finalize then
 Py_Initialize) while the DLL with Boost.Python is still loaded. The
 pointer in function.cpp on the Boost.Python.function object then becomes a
 dangling reference. Perhaps a cleanup function registered with Py_AtExit
 could fix that.
