New submission from Álvaro Justen <alvarojus...@gmail.com>:
I was working on a library called rows[https://github.com/turicas/rows] when a
segmentation fault was thrown in the moment I've tried to read a CSV file.
Since this part of the code is implemented completely in Python, I thought it
could be a bug in Python itself.
Investigating the code I found it was faulting at exec()'s line inside
namedtuple code (Lib/collections/__init__.py). After some time testing, I've
came up with this piece of code to reproduce it:
```
try:
float('áxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')
except:
from collections import namedtuple
namedtuple('T', 'f')
```
The code works if I:
- Run passing `PYTHONMALLOC=debug`
- Place 'from collections import namedtuple' into the first line
- Remove any char from the string in the 'float(...)' line
- Remove the 'á' from the string in the 'float(...)' line
I've tested the code on Python 3.6.6, 3.7.0, 3.7-dev and 3.8-dev (versions
installed using pyenv on a Debian GNU/Linux machine) and the problem happened
only in 3.7.0.
This issue seems to be related to https://bugs.python.org/issue34087 but I
preferred to create a new one since I don't know if there are automated tests
for this specific case.
