seen with a profiled build (make profile-opt PROFILE_TASK='$(srcdir)/Lib/test/regrtest.py') building python-3.0rc3 on i486-linux-gnu. Using pybench as the PROFILE_TASK doesn't show this bug). Seen PR22471, but this one was reported long ago. What other information should be provided for this kind of report?
