[issue1469629] __dict__ = self in subclass of dict causes a memory leak?

[Hrvoje Nikšić]

Could this patch please be committed to Python? We have just run into this problem in production, where our own variant of AttrDict was shown to be leaking.

It is possible to work around the problem by implementing explicit __getattr__ and __setattr__, but that is both slower and trickier to get right.
