Have you tried setting the GC threshold low (e.g. 5)?  That sometimes
helps trigger these kinds of bugs.  You should also build with Py_DEBUG
defined.  That often helps too.  If you could, also try the CVS version
of Python.  pymalloc is now enabled by default and it does some some
extra checks if Py_DEBUG is defined.
