In setobject.c rev 1.26 + 1.27 Raymond removed gc support from built-in set objects, claiming in the log message that "sets cannot have cycles". Yet the attached program creates a cycle that I don't believe ever gets reclaimed.
Patch 1200018 restores GC support to set objects for Python 2.4. Thanks to my colleague Matt Messier for finding this. kick-me-if-i'm-smoking-something-ly y'rs, -Barry http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1200018&group_id=5470&atid=305470
