Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:
In the function "getstring" in _sre.c, the code obtains a pointer to the
characters of the buffer and then releases the buffer.
There's a comment before the release:
/* Release the buffer immediately --- possibly dangerous
but doing something else would require some re-factoring
*/
PyBuffer_Release(&view);
What's happening is that after the mmap is closed the pointer is no longer
valid.
