Summary: simple script causes segfault

Initial Comment:
I've attached a simple script that uses the poplib to
periodically check a mailbox and print the number of
messages available.

Seems to work twice, then the third time through a
segfault occurs.

The attached script contains a gdb backtrace at the end.

Python v2.2a4
Linux Mandrake v8.1

I'm hot on the trail. The problem is most likely in
getaddrinfo(). With a debug build, I get this:

>>> import socket
[... refs]
>>> socket.getaddrinfo("mail.tenzing.com", 110, 0,
socket.SOCK_STREAM)
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('63.115.0.25', 110))]
../Objects/tupleobject.c:147 negative ref count -1
[... refs]
>>>

I'm deleting your attachment since it contained a password.
I'm investigating the crash now.O It's an assert atat
Objects/typeobject.c:329
