Logged In: YES user_id=4771 But it would be very difficult to fix the code base to avoid the problem. The 'tuple' constructor was only an example; it is actually a quite common pattern everywhere in the C code base of both the core and extension modules. Expecting an object not to be seen before you first hand it out is extremely common, and get_referrers() breaks that assumption. Hence the claim that the problem really lies in get_referrers().
