My refcount nanny now seems to be in a state where it doesn't crash 
things (though there are spurious reports still from not following the 
refnanny convention), and I've discovered at least one genuine leak so 
far in the cython test suite.

So in the event that you get lots of leaks, waiting for that to mature 
may be a better angle.
