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
