testpkg leaked [10, 10, 10] references

This one at least appears to be caused by dummy (deleted) entries in the dictionary of interned strings. So it is not really a leak. It is a pain that it is so hard to figure this out, though. Wouldn't it make sense to find a trick to exclude these dummy entries from the total reference count? E.g. by subtracting the refcount of the dummy object...

A bientot,

Armin
