Assigned to: Neil Schemenauer (nascheme) Summary: gc.collect sometimes hangs

Initial Comment: When run under Python 2.1 on Mandrake Linux 7.2 (kernel 2.2.17) the attached script terminates normally. When run on the same machine under Python 2.2b1 it runs forever, printing an infinite sequence of "No such attribute del" messages to stdout.

If you comment out the call to gc.disable in Container.refresh, the script terminates normally under both versions of the interpreter.

Assigning to Neil Schemenauer, our GC expert.

Note that in 2.1, I get a whole bunch of messages "No such attribute del" to stdout too -- but it stops.

In 2.2, the first call to c=Container() and c.delegate() does the same thing. But the second call to Container() causes an infinite number of messages to print (even if it's not deleting the first c instance).
