Well, as you showed us with your last patch, one bug in this area tends 
to be repeated a lot of time. So IMHO anything but the top 20 lines in 
that log is worthless, because you'd like to rerun after fixing the 
first issue anyway to remove the duplicates...

(Of course, statistics is fun.)

I won't get into a discussion on whether a fault like this is due to me 
over-relying on the test suite or the pathetic low coverage it has. It's 
fixed now; but I wonder how many more there are...

Anyway, having a refcount fault on every single "del a.b[c]" is 
something I can easily see accounting for some of the megabytes in that log.
