Summary: Carbon.CF.CFMutableArray hangs interpreter

Initial Comment:
$ /opt/python2.4/bin/python
Python 2.4a1+ (#1, Jul 30 2004, 20:22:17) 
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> from Carbon.CF import *
>>> c = CFArrayCreateMutable(0)
>>> isinstance(c, CFMutableArrayRef)
True
>>> del c

The interpreter hangs after deleting c. This also happens when the 
call to isinstance is left out.

when I use gdb to check where the program hangs I always end up in 
CFArrayRefObj_dealloc. This also happens when I continue to program 
and break again later on.

It doesn't seem to be infinite recursion, the stack is 8 levels deep with 
the code mentioned earlier.

However:
(gdb) where

$3 = (CFArrayRefObject *) 0x37f0e0
(gdb) p *self
$4 = {
  ob_refcnt = 0, 
  ob_type = 0x55e2e4, 
  ob_itself = 0x0, 
  ob_freeit = 0x90190b98 <CFRelease>

(gdb) p self->ob_type->tp_base

(gdb) p self->ob_type->tp_base->tp_dealloc
$6 = 0x551f48 <CFArrayRefObj_dealloc>
(gdb) 

And CFArrayRefObj_dealloc is:

static void CFArrayRefObj_dealloc(CFArrayRefObject *self)
{
        if (self->ob_freeit && self->ob_itself)
        {
                self->ob_freeit((CFTypeRef)self->ob_itself);
                self->ob_itself = NULL;
        }
        self->ob_type->tp_base->tp_dealloc((PyObject *)self);
}

BTW: Python 2.4a1+ from anon-CVS as of today, running on OSX 10.3.4 
with Xcode 1.2 (gcc 3.3)
