[issue40496] re.findall() takes a long time (100% cup usage) on Python 3.6.10

It is hard to say what is the problem, but seems it was solved in 3.7. Either it was an optimization, or a bug fix which had such side effect. If it was a bug fix, it was one of backward incompatible bugfixes which are not backported to older versions.
