test_clear_dict_in_ref_cycle in test_module only works by coincidence,
if the name of the variable on line 77 is changed from 'a' to 'x', then the test fails.
This is a result of the arbitrary ordering of removals of values from a modules globals() during GC. 
Patch which passes in list, rather than using a global is attached.
