[New-bugs-announce] [issue14334] Invalid free in _PyUnicode_Ready()

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

Hi -- I'm getting a segfault running the attached crasher.py script.
Valgrind traces it down to an Invalid free() / delete / delete[] in
_PyUnicode_Ready().

Build: ./configure --without-pymalloc CFLAGS="-O0 -g" && make

$ ./python crasher.py
