New issue 2002: sqlite connection handles not getting garbage collected without
close
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/2002/sqlite-connection-handles-not-getting
David MacIver:
The following code runs in bounded memory in cpython and just continually
allocates an never frees it in pypy:
```
#!python
import sqlite3
while True:
sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
```
If you close the connection pypy also runs in bounded memory.
The [Pep 249 Spec](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/) suggests that
close is supposed to happen in __del__, though the sqlite3 API doesn't
explicitly say that this happens.
I know pypy doesn't do deterministic destruction, but it doesn't look like this
is ever getting its destructor called.
