[C++-sig] Possible memory leaks?

[Ben Sizer]

This is likely to be the first of several posts which I previously
made to comp.lang.python, but which were quietly ignored. :)  I don't
use Boost, this is all just low-level stuff, but hopefully someone
will still be able to help.

Here's my test-case:

#include <python.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize();
        Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize();
        Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize();
        Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize();
        Py_Initialize(); Py_Finalize();
        return 1;
}

Here's my output, with Python 2.5 built in debug mode on WinXP, no
modifications:

[7438 refs]
[7499 refs]
[7550 refs]
[7601 refs]
[7652 refs]

Is this normal? It doesn't look very promising to me. I may need to do
a lot of this since I need to run many isolated interpreters
sequentially during a long running process.
