Python bugs should be reported on SourceForge:

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470

Please specify the Python version and OS.  I do not see memory growth
running the above under Python 2.3.5 or 2.4.1 on Windows, so I don't
have any evidence of a bug here in the Pythons I usually use.
