[issue17206] Py_XDECREF() expands its argument multiple times

[STINNER Victor]

"I enabled faulthandler in subprocesses created by test.regrtest and test.script_helper..."

Oh, it doesn't help for this issue. On Windows, faulthandler is unable to dump the Python traceback on a stack overflow. On UNIX, it allocates a diffrent stack for its signal handler, and so the signal handler can run even on a stack overflow.

The Windows exit code 0xC00000FD (3221225725) means "Stack overflow / exhaustion".
