    Issue #7632: When Py_USING_MEMORY_DEBUGGER is defined, disable the
    private memory allocation scheme in dtoa.c, along with a piece of code
    that caches powers of 5 for future use.  This makes it easier to
    detect dtoa.c memory leaks with Valgrind or similar tools.

    Patch by Stefan Krah.
