It looks a lot like something threading related, but I don't see any threads in what you're doing.  (Though I don't know the details of how the profile module works, on either Linux or Windows.)

I can reproduce it consistently, also --without-threads. I'm lacking knowledge
about the profile module, but it has a comment "(old profiler used to write into
the frames local dictionary!!". Perhaps there's still something like that going on.
