[Python-Dev] Hard-to-find problem with set().test_c_api()

[Guido van Rossum]

Could anyone help me debug the following? This is in a debug build of
the trunk. I've been banging my head against the wrong wall for too
long to "see" the issue here... :-(

$ ./python -S -c "set('abc').test_c_api()"
[6872 refs]
Fatal Python error: ../Objects/stringobject.c:4971 object at
