[New-bugs-announce] [issue10157] Memory leak (r70152)

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

This is one of two remaining "definitely lost" leaks in py3k. It first
appeared in r70152. How to reproduce:

make distclean && ./configure OPT="-O0 -g" --without-pymalloc && make

valgrind --leak-check=full --suppressions=Misc/valgrind-python.supp ./python > VGOUT 2>&1

Then search for 'definitely'. This leak is not present in release-2.7.
