This msg is coming from inside the Python source.
Judging from the comments in the code there, it
looks like the garbage collector is bailing when
asked to delete an already deleted object.

My guess is we have a bad refcount (missing incref?),
probably due to the recent code cleanup.

This behaviour does not show up here on loonix, so
finding the problem will be interesting.
