[New-bugs-announce] [issue31765] BUG: System deadlocks performing big loop operations in python 3.5.4, windows 10

[Nikhil]

New submission from Nikhil <nkhl681 at gmail.com>:

What I did
1) root file declared where operation will start and import hashlib for
getting hash signatures
2) os.walk for recursively diving into directory tree
3) open file and find sha256 digest and print it
4) close the file
5) recursively repeat all above 2 steps till we traversed directory tree

Above logic python program caused sudden exponential increase in RAM usage
(task manager by chance)  and certainly DEADLOCK and......  Force shutdown

I want to know what went wrong.....
