[New-bugs-announce] [issue16498] Unwanted link between volatile and shelve storage

[Terry Cooper]

New submission from Terry Cooper:

The Python statement gList1[i1][1] += gList2[i2][1] modifies not only gList1 (a volatile storage object) but dBasis[163] (a record within shelve object dBasis).  Both gList and dBasis[163] are printed before and after execution of the statement by cFract2.combine.  They are obviously not the same record, but the statement modifies gList1[2][1] and dBasis[163][2][1] simultaniously.
