[Python-Dev] pymalloc killer

Parachuting into a random point in the thread...

Does this have any real bearing on 2.2.1?  Should pymalloc have a mild
warning sticker applied to it for this release?  Or is this just
another possible-to-exploit but basically impossible to run into by
accident hole in Python?

You'll excuse me if I don't want to backport recent pymalloc changes
to release22-maint...

Cheers,
M.
