[Python-Dev] crash in dict on gc collect

[Neal Norwitz]

# This crashes, but i need to print type(encoding_table) at end of cp1140.py
import imp, sys
path = sys.path

enc = imp.find_module('encodings')
imp.load_module('encodings', *enc)

path.append(enc[1])

cp1140 = imp.find_module('cp1140')
imp.load_module('cp1140', *cp1140)
