This tracker is not about assistance. If at all, we need you to assist us. Can you please report more details, like stack traces, causes of the crash, patches? If not, I think there is little we can do about this report ("it crashes" is pretty unspecific).

Can you also provide a gdb/dbx backtrace of where the problem occurred?

If you think your problem is solved, then fine (you seem to have found a work-around). If Python raises a MemoryError, this is still a problem; it sholdn't normally do that, and it should normally invoke garbage collection itself. To analyse this further, we still would need a debug stack trace. However, I'm closing this as "won't fix" now; if you ever feel like analysing it further, and have data to help there, feel free to reopen the report.
