From my pr, "This is a bandaid to help people save time debugging this non-bug. I don't think this solution is very strong; I'm just hoping to move the discussion forward on the bpo, and hoping for a hint on how to suppress these warnings all together or come up with some other optimal solution.

I applied the function in test_decimal because that test consistently generates these malloc warnings on my system."

I'm still trying to find a true solution. Can anyone help to point me in a better direction?
