[issue14212] Segfault when using re.finditer over mmap

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

It segfaults because it attempts to access the buffer of an mmap that has been closed. It would be certainly be more friendly if it checked whether the mmap was still open and, if not, raised an exception instead.
