[New-bugs-announce] [issue23839] Clear caches after every test

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Some caches can grow unlimitedly during running the testsuite (in particular linecache). On some machines with limited resources this can cause multiple MemoryErrors. Many of these MemoryErrors can be avoided if clear caches between tests. Lib/test/regrtest.py already contains a code for cleaning caches, but it is used only with the -R option.
