Hi there,
I seem to be running into a problem with freeing memory.
Under OS X all is well, but under Linux there seems to be a problem in the
case of linked data structures.
I have attached a python program which demonstrates the problem. The output
of the script for both linux and OS X are below.
Thanks very much in advance, and for the amazing work on PyPy.
OS X:
