[issue3107] test_list uses unreasonable amounts of memory on 64-bit Linux

It worked- I took a patch of r65334, as 
 svn diff -c 65334
"http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint"

and applied that patch ONLY to a clean release 2.5.2 source, ignoring
the patch failure in Misc/NEWS.  Built it all over again the same as
before (that is, 
 CentOS release 4.4 (Final)
 Linux manfred 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Jan 30 12:18:01 EST 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 
 ./configure --prefix=/home/tools/sqa/amd64_rhel4/Python-2.5.2
--enable-shared  --build=x86_64-redhat-linux --enable-static )

Now, make test runs all the way through with no difficulty. 

Thanks, everyone.  I consider this closed.  Maintainer, please dispose
this bug as you think appropriate.
