New submission from Jelle Zijlstra:
$ cat baderror.py
class BadError(Exception):
def __init__(self):
self.i = 0
def __hash__(self):
self.i += 1
return self.i
e = BadError()
raise e from e
$ ./python.exe -V
Python 3.5.2+
$ ./python.exe baderror.py
Segmentation fault: 11
I have reproduced this with Python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6; I assume it's been
present throughout the 3 series.
This is because print_exception_recursive in pythonrun.c keeps following the
__cause__ chain, and here the exception is its own __cause__. It uses a set to
ensure that it breaks cycles, but that doesn't help here because of the
exception's incorrect __hash__ method.
