Looks like this (trivial) test now passes, at least on the one box I
have where it isn't skipped (an ancient red hat 7.3 box that just
won't die :-).

FWIW, this one *hangs* for me on the only box where I have the right
environment to build bsddb, after running many tests successfully.

I tried to reproduce this but couldn't (using a debug build). Is it
reproducible for you? What are the exact arguments you pass to Python
and regrtest and what platform did you use?

Did Walter's submit fix these? If not, can you provide more details of
the remaining leaks?

I'll look into this.

I think I fixed this. The traceback module no longer likes getting a
tuple instead of an Exception instance, so a small adjustment had to
be made to py_compile.py. The syntax error that py_compile was trying
to report is now no longer fatal.

I don't think it hurts if multiple people look into this. These are
all tough problems. Folks, do report back here as soon as you've got a
result (positive or negative).

And I can't reproduce it either. Can you?

I'm running regrtest.py -uall -R4:3: now.

This doesn't fail in isolation for me.
