A simple way is to call gc.disable() and see if the problem goes away.
Note that gc.disable() only disables the mark-and-sweep part of garbage
collection, which is the part that can cause the Python interpreter to
freeze. It doesn't disable garbage collection when the refcount of an
object reaches zero.
