Summary: Memory leak in bdb

Details: This program quickly grows to upwards of 70M on Linux with
Python 2.0:

import bdb
for memory_leak in xrange(10000000):
     b = bdb.Bdb()
     b.run('i=0', {}, {})

Yet factoring the bdb.Bdb() instantiation outside the loop
removes the memory leak.

Perhaps something in the trace code?
