circular references?

This is erroneous.  __del__ does not get called until the reference
count reaches zero. 
What caused me to be confused was a practice I usually employ which
hides such references
in container objects, and itself be properly collected.  In this case, I
use the __del__
method of the container object.  Sorry for the confusion.
