The release tarball should come with pre-generated .c files, generated
with something that isn't cython 0.15.

It is a known issue that cython 0.15 changed how variables were
initialized. Previously, all variables were default initialized to
0/NULL/None (as appropriate). They changed it to stop doing so, which
means our code needs to be audited to put those back in.

If you compile with Cython 0.15+, it should give you warnings about
non-initialized variables. I just haven't had the time to look into
all of them. Unfortunately, older versions of pyrex don't support:

cdef object var = None

So you have to do:

cdef object var
...
var = None

To be compatible across the supported versions of pyrex + cython.
