Re: Re[2]: Prothon bug: strange interaction between selfandadd_

I'm making steady but slow progress.  The Mod8Int Prototype object data in
memory is getting replaced with the data from a totally different object.
This would not seem unusual if it was fresh data from a new object.  I've
seen this before when the space was being reclaimed accidently.

The weird thing in this case is the data is from a random old object dating
back to the startup of the interpreter and it's a different object each test
run.  I can't think of any mechanism in the garbage collector that would
copy an old object over a new object.  No copying happens at all in the
garbage collector.

These hard bugs will seem to have impossible symptoms until I find out the
cause, and then it will be obvious and I'll go "why didn't I think of that"?

Oh well, off to sleep.  I'll attack it with a fresh mind in the morning.

I see you went ahead and published working code.  I assumed you ran it
without the garbage collector.  You should be able to run it for a long time
before filling up memory.

I have a tons of memory leaks in Prothon now anyway.  It may not make much
difference :-)
