The minidom.Node class has a debug attribute which, when its _debug
flag is true, is set to a StringIO object that silently collects all debug messages. This is triggered by the Node._debug=1 statement at the top of test_minidom.py. After the tests, we better delete that StringIO object to avoid wasting memory. We also reset the _debug flag. (Note that this is an undetectable memory leak, and the memory doesn't get collected by the cycle-gc either, because it's all reachable -- it's just useless.)
