fix(profiler): Stop nulling buffer on teardown (#6075)

ericapisani · web-flow · commit fe7e848e6bb0 · 2026-04-15T07:04:32.000-04:00
There's still the occasional race condition in the GEvent tests that may be related to fast "start/stop" cycles, and the `teardown` functions were not updated as part of #5622 (comment) These changes remove `self.buffer = None` from `teardown()` in both `ThreadContinuousScheduler` and `GeventContinuousScheduler` in favour of using a local variable to assign `self.buffer` to before setting the local variable to `None` Fixes PY-2140 Fixes #5673
