[issue2496] test_no_refcycle_through_target sometimes fails in test_threading

[Antoine Pitrou]

This is a tentative patch. I can't verify it fixes anything but at least
it shouldn't do any harm ;)
If it doesn't fix it I see two possible explanations:
- the buildbots are running some kind of debug build which keeps
references to local variables, preventing them to be deallocated
- the C thread implementation needs fixing on some platforms
