In Python/pythonrun.c PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() may leak a FILE pointer if closeit is False and maybe_pyc_file returns true. This happens when the filename ends with ".pyc" or ".pyc". In this case the file is opened a second time with fopen() a few lines lower and assigned to the same variable "fp". However "fp" is never closed.

The bug was found by Coverity as CID 719689.

Georg: I've set the priority to release blocker as a resource leak of a file pointer and therefore rare file descriptor is IMHO a severe issue.
