Here is the story, sorry I skipped it before- I was at work then.
I was doing the basic build-from-source on RHEL (Centos) Linux, because
I don't have root and I need to install it in $HOME/something. I don't
try to change anything except the install location. See the ./configure
command given before.
I tried 2.5.2 because it was the latest + greatest. When I ran "make
test", it ran OK until it got to "test_list". Then it got stuck until
I killed it. Its very repeatable. In another window, "top" shows the
python process's memory growing and growing, until it owns basically all
available memory (8GB) after less than a minute or so.
Then I tried python 2.5.1, built exactly the same way, and make test
works OK- test_list completes in seconds.
