Funny, I reduced it to more or less the same thing, except the other way 'round: I suspected exceptions to be the source of the leak, so I kept adding more complicated exception processing to my leak-test until it started leaking; it started leaking the moment I added a doctest to it, but not before.

Does 'a tuple containing two Nones, a string and an int' ring a bell to anyone? :)
[... a huge number of reference leaks reported ...]
FYI, I "reduced" the relatively simple test_bisect's leaks to this
self-contained program:
