Summary: Odd behavior with unicode.translate on OSX.

Initial Comment:
d = {ord('f'): 'eff '}
for i in range(100):
....s = u'f' * i
....print i
....s.translate(d)

On my Panther laptop, that fails at i=25 with a MemoryError:

*** malloc: vm_allocate(size=1677725696) failed (error code=3)
*** malloc[2346]: error: Can't allocate region
Traceback (most recent call last):
..File "<stdin>", line 4, in ?
MemoryError

It works fine on the Linux and BSD boxes I was able to test on, 
though.

I can reproduce this on panther with python 2.3 (Apple Computer, Inc. 
build 1495). However, with the current 2.4 CVS head (as of 29 Sept) 
compiled on the same computer, this bug is gone.

This is probably a duplicate of bug 828737 ("unicode translate 
leaks memory"), which should be fixed in the current version 
2.3.4. Which version of Python are you using?

Oops, that 'eff ' should be u'eff ', obviously.  Sorry about that.
