[issue4924] gc.collect() won't always collect as expected

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

It should be possible to trigger this by invoking gc.collect in an
__del__ implementation of an object that is attached to a cycle.

However, I don't think this is an important issue; +0 for resolving this
by documenting the status quo (instead of making the implementation
match the documentation).
