Hello there,
I am currently having trouble in memory management, I wrote a code that was 
not supposed to store anything but actually it was using a massive amount 
of memory. At a first glance, I thought it was related to some function in 
my code, such as factor() for polynomials in a multivariate ring over a 
finite field.  I dug a bit deeper and the problem seems even at a lower 
level:

def check_memory(k):
> a=get_memory_usage()
> silly_function(k)
> return get_memory_usage()-a
>
> def silly_function(k):
> for i in range(10^k):
> 2+2


Notice that silly_function does not store neither return anything, so the 
memory usage should be zero.
check_memory(9) returned 23446.37109375, this amount is in MB, so those are 
23GB. This information is consistent with the data from top. At a second 
run it returned just 972.62109375, which is still a lot.
