+- Issue #4998: The memory saving effect of __slots__ had been lost on Fractions
+ which inherited from numbers.py which did not have __slots__ defined. The
+ numbers hierarchy now has its own __slots__ declarations.

- Issue #5203: Fixed ctypes segfaults when passing a unicode string to a
function without argtypes (only occurs if HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T is false).
