[EP-tech] IRStats and EPrints 3.3

[Timothy Miles-Board]

Hi,

I have found a bug with IRStats 1.x when used with EPrints 3.3.x

There is a memory cycle in the DatabaseInterface object which means that 
those objects are never destroyed, and hence the object's database 
connection is held open indefinitely (until it times out). If enough 
IRStats requests are made in a short space of time this could use up all 
the available MySQL connections.

This small patch fixes the issue:

Note this only applies to IRStats 1.x running under EPrints 3.3.x

Regards,

Tim
