Discussion in #29034 inspired me to run a refleak check on Windows, with the following results from a 32-bit build of the current 3.6 branch:
C:\cpython\3.6>PCbuild\build.bat -e -d
C:\cpython\3.6>python -m test -uall -R 3:3:refleak_log.txt --timeout=7200
...
24 tests failed:
test_atexit test_capi test_concurrent_futures test_fileio
test_functools test_glob test_idle test_io test_math
test_multiprocessing_spawn test_ntpath test_os test_platform
test_posixpath test_shutil test_ssl test_sys test_tarfile
