[pypy-issue] [issue1687] WeakValueDictionary and __del__

[Alexey]

New submission from Alexey <hellman1908 at gmail.com>:

When storing objects with defined __del__ method (even with only 'pass') in
WeakValueDictionary, sometimes they disappear suddenly from dict. Attached
script raises assertion error when bug is catched. Run it several times and wait
5-10 seconds (well, it's rather stable for me in 2-5 seconds).

You can remove __del__ method and bug disappears.

Checked on pypy2.2.0 and 2.2.1 (both are buggy).
CPython2.7 and 3.3 checked also - no bugs.

Also it seems the but is not in WeakValueDictionary, because I implemented it's
variant with a couple of needed methods using just dict and weakref.ref's and
the bug still applies.
