[New-bugs-announce] [issue15251] new.code and new.function crashes Python iterpretter

[Jeffrey Harper]

New submission from Jeffrey Harper <jeff1.61803 at gmail.com>:

I've attached a script that crashes the Python interpreter.  

I can get the crash to occur under Windows Vista with this version of Python:

C:\tmp\remote>c:\Python27\python.exe
Python 2.7.1 Stackless 3.1b3 060516 (release27-maint, Jan  1 2011, 13:04:37) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Also, I got it to segfault under Ubuntu Linux:

jharper at ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
jharper at ubuntu:~$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2

Note, when I commented out the line, "pprint(code_args)", the script generated a SystemError exception instead of crashing.
