When a cython object contains numpy arrays the pure python allocation hook can trigger during cythons __dealloc__ method and trigger a second deletion of the object currently being deleted. To minimize the probabily that that happens disable the garbage collector during the hook. As this involves python calls it is still possible that a double delete occurs but chances are lowered, a proper solution would be C only hook like python 3.4 tracemalloc module. Closes numpygh-4834
