[issue35301] python.exe crashes - lzma?

In total my python.exe process crashed 6 times with the exact same error, compressing about 60,000 pages, so about 1 in 10,000 failed.
However, I have ran the same process monthly for the last several months and it has never done that before despite processing mostly the same sites and compressing similar quantities of pages. The code is completely unchanged from last month.

Upon reflection, the only thing that has changed since then is that I am now running BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) in the background on the machine. So I have just re-ran the entire process with BOINC suspended. Not a single crash!
It seems that somehow BOINC and Python are interacting to cause Python to crash.
