[issue16527] (very) long list of elif causes segfault

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

Nice catch! How did you notice the issue? I hope you didn't use thousands of elifs in some code. It's going to perform horrible slow with O(n).

I'll see if we can fix the problem easily. As this is clearly a pathological case I consider a patch as "nice to have" and not as "required". Nobody sane write a elif chain with nearly 25 thousands elif. ;)
