[issue18897] Illegal instruction at Python-2.7.5/Modules/_sre.c:1173

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

This is a malloc() failure, not a Python bug ("DUMA Aborting: mprotect() failed: Cannot allocate memory").

Line 1173 in _sre.c allocates a fixed-sized structure (SRE_REPEAT):

            ctx->u.rep = (SRE_REPEAT*) PyObject_MALLOC(sizeof(*ctx->u.rep));

That structure is probably 32 bytes long in 64-bit mode.
