[issue21563] Segv during call to builtin_execfile in application embedding Python interpreter.

[Robert Snoeberger]

Robert Snoeberger added the comment:

I created a patch to add a check for NULL globals or locals. The file execfile.patch is attached. A system error is set with the message "globals and locals cannot be NULL" if either is NULL.

An open question I have is how should I create tests for this patch? I verified that the crash doesn't occur when I run the attached execfile_invoke.c program.
