""" The gc module can still invoke arbitrary Python code and crash. This is an attack against _PyInstance_Lookup(), which is documented as follows: The point of this routine is that it never calls arbitrary Python code, so is always "safe": all it does is dict lookups. But of course dict lookups can call arbitrary Python code. The following code causes mutation of the object graph during the call to has_finalizer() in gcmodule.c, and that might segfault.
