Found another memory leak in longrangeiter. And redo the previous correction
without calling PyType_Ready().
Question 1: Should the interpreter register all types with PyType_Ready()?
Many types seem to avoid it.
Question 2: To reproduce the problem, run the following code:
def f():
while True:
for a in iter(range(0,1,10**20)):
pass
f()
And watch the memory used by the process.
How do we test this in a unittest?
