[New-bugs-announce] [issue15291] test_ast leaks memory a lot

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

On the default branch, if you run test_ast in a loop:

./python -E -m test -F test_ast

you will see that the process memory use grows very quickly. This doesn't happen on 3.2.
I'm not a Valgrind expert so perhaps someone else can take a look. Otherwise I'll try to bisect.
