I have added a comment.

I am using my own definition of leaking: a test is leaking if references
grow without bounds ;-).
Ok, I found that the test in charge is Lib/ctypes/test/test_loading.py,
LoaderTest.test_find. This test uses the ctypes.util.find_library function,
which contains several calls to os.popen(...).read().
The minimal code reporting the -33/+33 leaks that I found is simply this:
os.popen('ls').read()
Is there a problem in "os.popen(...)", or do I something wrong here?
