8288	Field lookup of __gt and __gte on DecimalField causes memory blowup	odonian	nobody	"Somewhere between Django alpha 1 and 2, it seems a bug was introduced where using a field lookup of __gt or __gte on a DecimalField causes an instance of the development server (and probably other server instances, e.g. mod_python) to rapidly grow in memory and consume system resources (primarily memory).  Perhaps a race condition is being triggered.  I have to kill the dev server to get my system (running Linux) under control again. 

There were no such problems seen with the exact same code in the alpha 1 svn, as far as I recall.  I notice some changes have been made to the DecimalField #8143, but these are pre-existing values already in the database.  I'm using the trunk at revision 8336.
