[issue41459] pickle.load raises SystemError on malformed input

Hi Eric, 

I'm not aware of a practical problem caused by this. 

This was discovered via fuzzing. I reported it because the unexpected error suggest an internal issue within the pickle library. 

Just before reporting this, I browsed the bug tracker and noticed a similar comment suggesting this kind of pickle issue is of little consequences given pickle is not designed for untrusted input. So I've shifted my focus away from fuzzing pickle.
