It's not ok to call PyMem_* functions when the GIL is released. You should only release the GIL around the call to the system getcwd(). > I suppose that Python has a faster memory allocator, or that it has > better checks when compiled with pydebug? In this case it doesn't really make a difference, since all allocations larger than 256 bytes are delegated to the system allocator.
