Now that we have a garbage collector, is it really necessary any more? What would happen if we simply set sys.modules to None and then invoked the collector? There is a patch on SF that does this. Brett, can you see if this patch helps in your case? http://www.python.org/sf/812369

It segfaulted when it normally spits out a bunch of tracebacks about sys.stderr being None from the interpreter tearing itself down.
