This is usually the result of a compiler optimization bug.  Try recompiling
Python with optimization disabled.  If the problem goes away then, live with
an unoptimized Python, find the smallest subset of Python files that need
optimization disabled (likely just intobject.c), file a bug report against
the compiler, and/or try a more recent compiler.
