Try with this one:
"""
import multiprocessing.heap
tab = []
for i in range(100000):
print(i)
b = multiprocessing.heap.BufferWrapper(10)
# create a circular reference (we want GC and not refcount collection when
# the block goes out of scope)
b.tab = tab
tab.append(b)
# drop buffers refcount to 0 to make them eligible to GC
if i % 100 == 0:
del tab
tab = []
"""
It deadlocks pretty quickly (well, on my box).
And, as expected, disabling/enabling the GC inside malloc solves the problem.
I have to think a little bit more for a clean solution.
