[issue9197] subprocess module causing crash

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

Removing the call to Py_DECREF is fishy. 

The cleanup of the interpreter state in Py_Finalize doesn't clean up all state when m_copy refers to a version from a previous instance of the interpreter.

Maybe the tp_dealloc of a module object clean up m_copy? I don't know enough of this code and its intended behavior to know if that would be a valid change.
