17619	MemoryError when deleting objects with many generic relations	bjourne@…	nobody	"When I delete an object which has several generic relations pointing to it, I get a memory error. It seems like there is some memory leak or infinite recursion going on because the process just locks up for a few seconds while the Python process grows to 3gb in size and then terminates with the MemoryError. 

I don't have an isolated test case for it, but the problem is easy for me to reproduce and I can provide more details if requested. Here is the full traceback:
