[pypy-issue] [issue707] PyPy memory leak in 1.5 on OSX

[Justin Peel]

Justin Peel <peelpy at gmail.com> added the comment:

Pyexpat wasn't allowing the parser object to be collected because it put each 
parser in a global_storage container. I used a weakref and memory seems to be 
under control. The pyexpat_leak.py code I put up maxes out just over 100 MB no 
matter how many loops are done. Albert's code now maxes out at about 25MB for me 
rather than over 600 MB.
