Dear Metakitters:

Thank you for metakit!

This Python script eventually consumes all available memory and dies.  Is this
a bug?

I compiled metakit 2.4.9.5 with gcc 3.3.  I'm using Python 2.4.2 as shipped by
Ubuntu (Breezy).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Zooko

import metakit, os

store = metakit.storage("leakcheck", 1)
db = store.getas("test_db[k:B]")
    
while True:
    k = os.urandom(20)
    db.append(k=k)
    db.delete(db.find(k=k))
