> So I propose to back out that change and be done with it.

I just did revert the change (rev 1.8 of _weakref.c, back to 1.7), so anyone
interested in pursuing the details should NOT update.

There's another reason for not updating then:  the problem "went away" after
the next big pile of checkins, even before I reverted the change.  I assume
that's simply because things got jiggled enough so that we no longer hit
exactly the right sequence of internal operations.
