[issue2206] critical memory leak in hashlib.md5

Benjamin Peterson report at bugs.python.org

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

This is not a hashlib problem (or a bug at all.) range returns an list
of 99990000 numbers. The allocation of this list is the part taking up
all the memory. Try replacing range with xrange.
