Can you try compiling Python with Py_DEBUG defined?  Also, calling
gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK) and gc.set_threshold(1) may help to trigger
the bug closer to the source of the problem.

> Neil, can you have a look at this?

Without being able to reproduce this its hard to do anything.  It looks
like a gc_next pointer is NULL.  I'll have to think really hard about it
some more. :)
