New submission from Brian Kearns:
The test fails on Python implementations with non-refcounted GCs without these
lines. Should go on py3k branches also.

Perhaps these should use the gc_collect function in test_support?

Brian Kearns added the comment:
Possibly. But if so then one would argue there are plenty of other instances
where gc_collect should be used, both within test_weakref and the rest of the
test suite. Chose gc.collect here as it was used all over test_weakref.py,
gc_collect never being used,
