[issue3055] test_list on 64-bit platforms

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com>:

test_list, and possible other tests, use a lot of memory when Python is 
build in 64-bit mode. This causes heavy swapping when the machine doesn't 
have a huge amount of memory.

I've filed this bug because an OSX box with 3 GBytes of RAM gets 
completely unresponsive when trying to run test_list (due to heavy 
swapping).
