So I think I'll be reading through exceptions.c pretty carefully. I don't think Sean and Richard have acquired as much paranoid anal-mindedness and I have when hacking on Python C internals yet :) I intended to go through the code again today or tomorrow, looking for things we missed, but I was on the plane until now, so obviously you were faster. Oh right. I'd have preferred you didn't check in unfinished code to the trunk, I think... I blame it on Tim since he said OK ;)

I hope he feels bad about it too :)

Thanks for doing our work, though ;)

It has to be said, the degree of the refleaks put me into emergency fire fighting mode... I hadn't expected so many of them, but I also have to admit that we didn't have that much time on Saturday and wanted the branch merged for obvious reasons...

You can make it up to me by writing unit tests for the crash cases I've fixed.

I think I've fixed the refleaks too, but running regrtest -R :: takes raaaather a while.

Cheers, mwh
