There is not a specific warning about the possibility of core dumps.  Since
this is normally considered an interpreter bug, a specific disclaimer might
be appropriate.  And maybe a few code tweaks could be added.  At Richard
Hettinger's suggestion, I opened and assigned to him a SourceForge bug
report.
