I'm attaching a test case. You're right, in test_buffer it's
hard to reproduce but I've encountered the "leak" several times
in the past months.
Today I realized that the "leak" always occurred with format code
'c'. There's this passage in test_buffer:
x = randrange(*fmtdict[mode][char])
if char == 'c':
x = bytes(chr(x), 'latin1')
After some head scratching I looked into regrtest.py and found
the warm_char_cache() function. The whole thing makes sense: In
each repetition of the refleak mode new characters can be added
to the unicode_latin1 cache.
So, you should be able to reproduce the issue:
$ ./python -m test -uall -R 2:2 test_pseudo_leak
[1/1] test_pseudo_leak
beginning 4 repetitions
1234
....
test_pseudo_leak leaked [8, 8] references, sum=16
1 test failed:
test_pseudo_leak
[151225 refs]
