Summary: listextend memory leak
Initial Comment:
Under Python 2.0.1, the following leaks:
for i in xrange(10000000):
lst = ['a']
lst.extend(10*[])
However, this doesn't:
for i in xrange(10000000):
lst = ['a']
lst.extend(10*['b'])
We see this on WinNT and Win2K. It's not clear from
looking at listobject.c why this happens.
