[New-bugs-announce] [issue42609] Eval with two high string multiplication crashes newer Python versions

[Erik Lamers]

New submission from Erik Lamers <mail at eriklamers.nl>:

For Python version 3.7 and above the following statement will end up in a segfault.

eval("1 + 100"*1000000)

Whereas Python versions 3.6 and below would tread this as a Recursion error.
