I tried to explain this in private email:

This is pure Python code.  The parser module is the only extension
being used.  The crash _always_ occurs as a frame object is being
de-allocated, and _always_ happens as a builtin list object (a local
variable) is de-alloced by the frame.

Always the same line of Python code, always the same line of C code,
always the exact same failure.

Mark.
