old style classes create a PyFinalizableInstance when a__del__ method is defined (unfortunately there's even problems with that to: http://bugs.jython.org/issue1634167 ) new style classes don't do anything similar however, thus __del__ methods are never called this prevents test_descr's delhoook and subtype_resurrection from passing
