> "construct and print a self-referencing tuple"

I don't understand the use case here. In pure Python, you cannot build a 
self-referecing tuple!?

Yeah, using the C API or by modifying bytes directly in the memory, you can do 
that. But if you start to use the C API, you must be careful. The C API is 
designed for speed, not to prevent bugs.

I don't think that we should fix anything in Python. I don't consider that it's 
a bug in Python.

Basically, crash.py is a fork-bomb: the program starts itself in a loop. It's 
not a bug in Python.
