Summary: unicode translate leaks memory

Initial Comment:
(Python 2.3.2, running on Windows 2K)

this program needs over 100 megabytes (and lots of CPU 
time) for n=10, and runs out of memory for n=100.

charmap = {
    ord("&"): u"&",
    ord("<"): u"&lt;",
    ord(">"): u"&gt;",
    ord('"'): u"&quot;",
}

for n in (1, 10, 100, 1000):
    text = u'abc<def>ghi'*n
    print n, len(text)
    print text.translate(charmap)

</F>
