Thanks for the report.  I see much the same when the code is
compiled in other contexts (e.g., compile() raises a SystemError).
The crash in 2.2.2 only occurs when the code is run as a script.

I located the problem yesterday, submitted a patch for it this
morning, and entirely forgot my intention to post a note about it
to this thread.  :(  Here it is:

(The patch also addresses two other bugs I noticed while working
out how I wanted to fix the original one.)
