It is the same basic problem as in http://bugs.python.org/issue3299, which I analysed some time ago. Yes, I guess my 'catch' is exactly that. But it might be a red herring (sorry if that's the case): is the correlation with sparc and/or rev.67888 real?

The correlation with sparc probably isn't real (that was just a subjective impression on my part based on the buildbot failure emails). When --with-pydebug is enabled, I can reproduce the fault (as posted by Alexandre) on 32-bit x86 Linux.

There may be a specific issue with the klose buildbots, but the crash in the object deallocation is obscuring the original problem.

I'll put further comment on the issue Georg linked.

Cheers, Nick.
