Summary: bsddb/weakref error

Initial Comment:
After a cvs up and reinstall of Python, Spambayes is giving 
me this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know what it means, but it wasn't happening before 
the cvs up.  I suspect something changed in the bsddb3 
stuff, so I'm provisionally giving it to Greg.

Further inspection of recent python-checkins activity shows
a large change to the weakref stuff by Fred on July 2nd
(more recent than Greg's change to bsddb on June 28th), so
reassigning to him in case it's a weakref problem.
I've been so-far unable to back out the change in my
repository (subsequent changes to some of the files make
that difficult), so I can't verify the weakref changes are
the root of my problems, but they seem pretty wide-ranging,
so that's my guess.
