In setobject.c rev 1.26 + 1.27 Raymond removed gc support from built-in
set objects, claiming in the log message that "sets cannot have
cycles".  Yet the attached program creates a cycle that I don't believe
ever gets reclaimed.

Patch 1200018 restores GC support to set objects for Python 2.4.  Thanks
to my colleague Matt Messier for finding this.
