[New-bugs-announce] [issue11640] Shelve references globals in its __del__ method

[Peter Davies]

New submission from Peter Davies <ultratwo at gmail.com>:

Shelf.__setitem__ (which is called from __del__ when writeback is enabled) references globals. This was causing exceptions on interpreter  shutdown (due to another exception) for me.

I have attached a patch which stores the relevant globals in the Shelf object.
