While writing the patch for issue 17327, I noticed that there is a double reference leak in dict_setdefault() under the rare condition that resizing fails. I'm not 100% sure that it's ok to move the increfs behind the resizing, but considering that the resizing code actually looks safe and shouldn't kill references that are currently in the dict, I don't think it can be a problem. And the caller should always own a reference to these two anyway. Alternatively, decrefing them if the failure occurs would be a less intrusive change.

LGTM. This is 3.3+ only issue as far as I understand.
