This will be a good bug to quash. I will have some time to look at it
next wee as well.  I guess I am lucky in that my metakit connections
are all persistent :)   Could  you add a del stor before the
gc.collect and see if there is any difference?  There shouldn't be,
but I have had issues with not explicitly deleting storages.

On a related note, I have also been thinking of rewriting the metakit
interface using swig.  Swig didn't handle C++ very well when Gordon
McMillan wrote the original interface.  Unfortunatly, Gordon is no
longer supporting metakit or his interface code which will
progressively make using metakit with newer versions of python
difficult.  Swig has caught up in leaps and bounds and even allows
python classes to subclass C++ classes which is brilliant.

This might be a largish project if we want to keep the interface as
nicely pythonic as Gordon was able to do.
