...
for this function has always claimed that was true, but it wasn't
verified before. For the latest batch of "double deallocation" bugs
(stemming from weakref callbacks invoked by way of subtype_dealloc),
this assert would have triggered (instead of waiting for
_Py_ForgetReference to die with a segfault later).

SF bug 840829: weakref callbacks and gc corrupt memory.
...
subtype_dealloc(): This left the dying object exposed to gc, so that
if cyclic gc triggered during the weakref callback, gc tried to delete
the dying object a second time. That's a disaster. subtype_dealloc()
had a (I hope!) unique problem here, as every normal dealloc routine
untracks the object (from gc) before fiddling with weakrefs etc. But
subtype_dealloc has obscure technical reasons for re-registering the
dying object with gc (already explained in a large comment block at
the bottom of the function).
The fix amounts to simply refraining from reregistering the dying object
with gc until after the weakref callback (if any) has been called.
This is a critical bug (hard to predict, and causes seemingly random
memory corruption when it occurs). I'll backport it to 2.3 later.

Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().

Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.
The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.
The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.
