[issue41389] Garbage Collector Ignoring Some (Not All) Circular References of Identical Type

[Ian O'Shaughnessy]

Ian O'Shaughnessy <ian_osh at apple.com> added the comment:

For a long running process (greatly exceeding a million iterations) the uncollected garbage will become too large for the system (many gigabytes). A manual execution of the gc would be required.

That seems flawed given that Python is a garbage collected language, no?
