[issue22653] Crash in insertdict

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

I got a weird crash in an interpreter session. Here is what I did:

$ ./python 
Python 3.5.0a0 (default:fd658692db3a+, Oct 15 2014, 23:13:43) 
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open('toto', 'ab')
>>> f.write(b'bb')
2
>>> f.flush()
>>> 
>>> f = open('toto', 'ab')
__main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedWriter name='toto'>
python: Objects/dictobject.c:855: insertdict: Assertion `ep->me_key != ((void *)0) && ep->me_key != (&_dummy_struct)' failed.
Abandon (core dumped)


Here are the inner frames of the traceback:

Here are the hash initialization values:

(gdb) p _Py_HashSecret
$1 = {uc = "\260\306\vA\a\342\274\337\341\026\003\bbq\366\f\"\032E\232jb%\023", fnv = {prefix = -2324734786846079312, suffix = 934058638581110497}, 
  siphash = {k0 = 16122009286863472304, k1 = 934058638581110497}, djbx33a = {padding = "\260\306\vA\a\342\274\337\341\026\003\bbq\366\f", 
    suffix = 1379617070853200418}, expat = {padding = "\260\306\vA\a\342\274\337\341\026\003\bbq\366\f", hashsalt = 1379617070853200418}}
(gdb) p PyHash_Func
$2 = {hash = 0x5ee557 <siphash24>, name = 0x6b2020 "siphash24", hash_bits = 64, seed_bits = 128}


The crash seems difficult to reproduce simply by typing the lines above. Perhaps by forcing the hash initialization values as above.
