Content 
In Python/frozenmain.c the function Py_FrozenMain() doesn't handle argv_copy and argv_copy2 correctly. Both variables contain memory that is allocated with PyMem_Malloc(). argv_copy2 is never checked for NULL and both variables are not correctly cleaned up in error cases.

CID 486834: Resource leak (RESOURCE_LEAK)At (11): Variable "argv_copy" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. 
CID 486835: Resource leak (RESOURCE_LEAK)At (9): Variable "argv_copy2" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.

Suggested fix:
Separate var declaration from PyMem_Malloc() calls and use a goto label to clean up the variables and its content at the end of the function.
