Last time round I found a bunch of reference counting bugs in Python just after a major release; I'm trying to do it all before 2.4.0 this time.

I think I've now accounted for all the apparent and real refleaks revealed by the test suite (not with -uall, will try that soon). I've checked my regrtest patches in. I've fixed a bunch of tests that failed when repeated and I've filed bugs against those I couldn't figure out.

Hopefully we can keep on top of these things!

Cheers, mwh
