Memory leak under Idle?

Cyclic references are piling up (at least proportional to the number of
windows you've opened), but haven't looked into it deeper than that (an
EditorWindow holds refs to the extensions it installs, and extensions often
keep a reference to the EditorWindow that installed them).  Played briefly
with trying to clear an EditorWindow's __dict__ at window close time, but Tk
started griping about bogus callbacks.  If you grab the latest development
IDLE off of CVS, though, it's bound to be even worse <wink>.
