[issue37565] test_faulthandler: test_register_chain() crash with SIGSEGV (signal 11) on Skylake chipset

Oh. So Py_FinalizeEx() does get a SIGSEGV when triggering a garbage collection: the test doesn't crash, it's Python which crash at exit.

You can try to dump the content of op? For example:

(gdb) print *op
(gdb) print *op->ob_type


Can you try to rebuild Python from source in debug mode, and then retry the script? Something like:
---
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/Python-3.7.4.tar.xz
tar -xf Python-3.7.4.tar.xz 
cd Python-3.7.4/
./configure --with-pydebug --prefix /opt/py37
make
./python script.py
# no need to install Python
---

If it works, maybe retry without --with-pydebug.
