[issue39576] Surprising MemoryError in `decimal` with MAX_PREC

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan at bytereef.org> added the comment:

"The **exact** regression is that I could run the test suite without any crash or freeze on this AIX system
with 3.7.6 and I cannot in 3.7.7. At the very least this is due to the fact that there is a new test that crashes/hangs."


In other words, contrary to your earlier dismissal, you did NOT
run _decimal on AIX with MAX_PREC but just ran the 3.7.6 tests
that do not include any tests with MAX_PREC.
