Ah ok... yeah, there were reportedly several leaks in the compiler stuff that have been fixed in CVS. I imagine that's what this is.
Is the compiler still based on bytecodehacks? If so, I dont think this is a bug As I understand it, that package is designed to leave cyclic garbage around under the assumption that python's garbage collector will break the cycles. Early versions of bytecodehacks broke the cycles manually, at a great performance cost. Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
