The crash can be fixed by just removing the check after finishing
issue17611.
But is there any use case for 'continue'/'break'/'return' inside
'finally' clause? The code like
try:
return 1
finally:
return 2
or
try:
continue
finally:
break
looks at least confusing. Currently 'break' and 'return' are never used
inside 'finally' clause in the stdlib. I would want to see a third-party
code that uses them.
