First, don't use --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes

Then, avoid programming like

try:
   <statement>
except Exception
   pass

This means, ignore all errors without telling you want happened.  If you
show the exceptions, it may be clear what is going wrong.  If you need
to trap on exceptions, do so on only the very few you need to catch,
such as LDBError (there are other examples in the code for this).
