OK, we've completed another long run (several days), and this time it
didn't crash.  But I think there are still refcount problems.  I'm
attaching the full log file and a plot of the refcount.  It's wrapping
around, and after some point the increase switches to a pefectly
linear pattern, I'm not exactly sure why (it could be a change in the
underlying code after the initialization phase; it's not my code so I
don't know its internals).

I hope this helps, it would be nice to track this down before 1.0.1 is out.

Cheers,
