[New-bugs-announce] [issue31692] Test `test_huntrleaks` fails in debug build with COUNT_ALLOCS

[Iryna Shcherbina]

New submission from Iryna Shcherbina <shcherbina.iryna at gmail.com>:

The newly added `test_huntrleaks` test is failing on Python 2.7.14 debug build with COUNT_ALLOCS.

On Python 2.7.14 debug build *without* COUNT_ALLOCS the test passes fine, therefore I am not sure if there is a leak detected, or is it just COUNT_ALLOCS messing with the test and it should be skipped.
