OK, I've looked at the patch now. (1) it needs unit tests. (2) a py3k port would be helpful, since the code is very different in py3k, and we are now applying patches first to the py3k branch and then backporting.
I think this can be considered a bug (the ever-expanding cache), so I'm OK with applying this in 2.7.1 once it has unit tests.
Note that using _MAXCACHE (leading underscore) and not documenting it follows the 're' model, so that is the best choice.
