[issue3104] overzealous garbage collector (dict)

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Are you sure the keys for those list objects aren't just equal to others
you insert in the dict?

Witness:

>>> d = {}
>>> d[1] = 'a'
>>> d
{1: 'a'}
>>> d[1.0] = 'b'
>>> d
{1: 'b'}

I'm not sure what the memory limit is for dict objects, but 16MB sounds
quite low.
