New submission from paul:

# Breakpoint 1, encoder_listencode_dict (s=0x405b23fc, acc=0xbfaf96ec, dct=<D at remote 0x405c8af4>, indent_level=0)
# at /home/p/Python-3.4.1/Modules/_json.c:1540
# 1540            items = PyMapping_Keys(dct);
# (gdb) print *items
# $1 = {_ob_next = 0x4059029c, _ob_prev = 0x405c8ab4, ob_refcnt = 1, ob_type = 0x830f1a0 <PyLong_Type>}
# (gdb) n
# 1541            if (items == NULL)
# (gdb) n
# 1543            if (!PyList_Check(items)) {
# (gdb) n
# 1547            if (PyList_Sort(items) < 0)
# (gdb) n
# 1549            nitems = PyList_GET_SIZE(items);
# (gdb) n
# 1550            for (i = 0; i < nitems; i++) {
# (gdb) n
# 1552                key = PyList_GET_ITEM(items, i);
# (gdb) n
# 1553                value = PyDict_GetItem(dct, key);
# (gdb) n
# 1554                item = PyTuple_Pack(2, key, value);
# (gdb) print *key
# $2 = {_ob_next = 0xdbdbdbdb, _ob_prev = 0xdbdbdbdb, ob_refcnt = -606348325, ob_type = 0xdbdbdbdb}
# (gdb) n
# 
# Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
# 0x08104047 in PyTuple_Pack (n=2) at Objects/tupleobject.c:216
# 216             Py_INCREF(o);
# 
# We circumvent use after free bug in PyType_IsSubtype (poc_enc_dict1.py) by
# returning -1 from the __hash__() method. This way PyDict_GetItem bails 
# quickly, without triggering the problematic code.
# PyTuple_Pack handles a stale "key" pointer and crashes. Use after free.
