I am getting an occasional, hard-to-reproduce error in test_minidom. When I run the test, it displays about a thousand lines of garbage, but the test suite does not report test_minidom as failed or skipped.
The output I see during the test run is this:
test_minidom garbage: [{'nodeValue': u'Obsolete but implemented...', 'nextSibling':
This is most likely the garbage collector. regrtest.py contains the following code: if findleaks: gc.collect() if gc.garbage: print "garbage:", repr(gc.garbage) found_garbage.extend(gc.garbage) del gc.garbage[:] findleaks is true if the -l option is specified (TESTOPS in the makefile includes it). Something is producing cyclic garbage. Neil
