 When I was doing some computations on modular forms, I noticed the
 following strange memory usage behaviour which. After the first two
 iterations it seems like there is a memory leak. But strangely enough it
 stops leaking at the third iteration.

 sage: gc.collect()

 It would be nice to be able to create modular symbols without needing to
 restart sage to get all your memory back.
