Hi, did you make any progress? I have the same problem, it seems like
the release function is never called when python destroys the
references. Even setting a variable to None does not call the release
function.

The problem does not seems to be specific to a compiler since I'm having
these issues with gcc4 on GNU/Linux and also tried compiling with VS2005
