Sure thing:

I was mucking around in _Acquisition.c with getattr, findattr, etc,
and I noticed checked to see if my code was leaky.
It was!  I then checked just vanilla code, and found the same
leak (only much much smaller).

So here is what I did to make things more visible:
In Wrapper_getattro, I simply added a while loop,
and another call to Wrapper_findattr before the return statement "
return Wrapper_findattr(self, oname, NULL, NULL, NULL, 1, 1, 0, 0);".
Loop it 1000 times for some fireworks, 5 times for a more modest
display.

Looping other calls (such as Wrapper_acquire before "    return
Wrapper_acquire(self, oname, filter, extra, orig, explicit, containment);" in Wrapper_findattr)
does not produce a similar leak.

So.  To reproduce:

Edit _Acquisition.c
Function Wrapper_getattro
add " int i = 0;"
at the top.
then, if self->obj ... and all that, add:
"
while (i < xyz) {
Wrapper_findattr(self, oname, NULL, NULL, NULL, 1, 1, 0, 0);
i++;
}
"

Wrapper_findattr (like, for example, PyObject_GetAttr) returns a
*new* reference to the result of the attribute access.  So this would,
of course, cause a leak.  If you have code that is calling Wrapper_findattr
and not taking care of the new reference, then it is not surprizing that
you have a leak.
