[issue33930] Segfault with deep recursion into object().__dir__

> Can someone please explain me why this change has any impact? Does it mean that _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() macro has a bug?

Interestingly, this lonely and perplexing comment is left in  PyObject_GC_UnTrack (the function):

void
PyObject_GC_UnTrack(void *op)
{
     /* Obscure:  the Py_TRASHCAN mechanism requires that we be able to
      * call PyObject_GC_UnTrack twice on an object.
      */
  if (_PyObject_GC_IS_TRACKED(op)) {
      _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK(op);
  }
}
