New submission from Recursing <buonanno.lore...@gmail.com>:
Minimal code to reproduce:
```
import ssl
import certifi
import gc
import asyncio
ca_path = certifi.where()
async def make_async_context() -> None:
context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS)
context.load_verify_locations(ca_path)
await asyncio.sleep(1)
async def main(n: int) -> None:
await asyncio.wait([make_async_context() for _ in range(n)])
gc.collect()
asyncio.run(main(2000))
input("Finished run, still using lots of memory :(")
gc.collect()
input("gc.collect() does not help :(")
```
Running this code on several linux machines (with python from 3.6.9 to 3.9.0a5,
and openSSL from 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018 to 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020) causes a
significant memory leak, while on windows memory usage peaks around 1 GB but
gets freed
