rawhide install report: Anaconda fails with an assertion error

I've been attempting rawhide installs all along, and failing due to a 
python assertion error on my testbed machine.

I have to use radeon.modeset=0 (Radeon QD 7200) to gat anywhere.
X startup fails so I've been doing VNC installs (why not support text 
mode better!)

Installation goes fine until the actual installation of packages when a 
python assertion error occurs "gc->gc_rc != -3" occurs [from memory, 
there is no chance to record the error in bugzilla.]

preupgrade also fails at this point with the same error.

rawhide/f12 is a no go for this machine.  It's my standard testbed 
machine: i686 Celeron D CPU, standard IDE based motherboard, Radeon QD 
7200 video, 1.5Go RAM, etc...

F11 installs fine.
