[Python-Dev] new failing test -- test_compiler

Weird.  The very first time PyString_InternInPlace() sees

"abcdfeghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_"

it's *already* marked as SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL .  So
PyString_InternInPlace() just returns, without adding it to the
interned dict.  The error we get later is inevitable then.

This happens while compile.c's PyCode_New is doing its "Intern
selected string constants" loop.

PyString_InternInPlace()  is the only thing that marks a string as
being in the SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL state, is it's A Mystery how this
string got so marked.  Unless it's a wild store.
