Thanks to Thomas digging into test_threading_local, I checked in what
appeared to be a total leak fix for it last week.  On my Windows box,
it's steady as a rock now:

"""
$ python_d  -E -tt ../lib/test/regrtest.py -R:50: test_threading_local
test_threading_local
beginning 55 repetitions
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345
.......................................................
1 test OK.

"""

Is it still flaky on other platforms?

If not, maybe the reported

    test_threading_local leaked [-93, 0, 0] references

is due to stuff from a _previous_ test getting cleaned up (later than
expected/hoped)?
