Described in more detail at pytest-dev/pytest-cov#676

The CTracer leaks code objects. This can cause the memory footprint to grow, especially if a large number of code objects are created, as with eval() in a loop as described in the pytest-dev report.

This is a subtler check for leaks, and still clearly distinguishes
