Can anyone lend a hand here? Take a test, stick it in an infinite loop, watch your process size blow off the roof, then whittle the test down until the trigger becomes clear. We found a very serious 2.2 leak today doing this to testbinop.py, and not even Guido (let alone God ...) knows how many more may be lurking. It's not a Good Sign that testbinop has vanished from the list now but everything else is still there.

I'll take test_descr.py right now.
