Summary: Memory fault on complex weakref/weakkeydict delete

Initial Comment:
Attached find two modules which together form a
test-case.  The cache.py file is ripped out of a
production system (OpenGLContext), and I am seeing
memory faults under both Python 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 when I
run the code.  Under 2.2.2 while single-stepping
through the code I was able to provoke an error-message:

Fatal Python error: GC object already in linked list

The error message doesn't show up under 2.2.3, but the
memory-fault does.

Modules here don't use any extension modules, so there
shouldn't be any loose memory references or the like. 
Note, you'll likely need to make weakkeydictionary's
__delitem__ use keys instead of iterkeys to even get to
the crashing.
