[issue3245] Memory leak on OS X

I can reproduce this with the Apple-supplied Python, but I'm having 
trouble reproducing it with anything from python.org.  I tried checking 
out revision 54863 and doing

./configure --enable-framework MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 && make
sudo make altinstall

Then I get:

$ /usr/local/bin/python2.5 -S
Python 2.5.1 (release25-maint:54863, Jun 30 2008, 22:59:07) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin

$ leaks Python
Process 84169: 534 nodes malloced for 1029 KB
Process 84169: 0 leaks for 0 total leaked bytes.

So maybe the leak is the result of something that Apple did?
