[Twisted-web] Guard, LastPage Memory Leak?

[Federico Tomassini]

Dear Glyph,

see answers below. I'm debugging with pdb and gc. Maybe I
discovered something, but the debug process is slow.

Ok. on Page.afterRender() I put `self` on a list. After 5 hits
to this page, I'm checking where these pages are referred.
I have this for the first page on the list:

   WovenContext(tag=None, remembrances={'nevow.inevow.IMacroFactory':
	<myfile.pages.MyPage object at 0x4069eeac>})

Do this tell you something?

Yes. I will build a minimal framework.
