[issue8420] Objects/setobject.c contains unsafe code

[Eugene Kapun]

This code crashes python by using another bug in set_repr. This only affects py3k. This code relies on out-of-memory condition, so run it like:
$ (ulimit -v 65536 && python3 test.py)
Otherwise, it will eat all your free memory before crashing.

val = "a" * 10000
class big:
	def __repr__(self):
		return val
i = 16
while True:
	repr(frozenset(big() for j in range(i)))
	i = (i * 5) >> 2
