STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: F*ck, Firefox just crashed! I have to rewrite my long comment...
First, to explain why the problem only occurs in pydebug mode: a PyObject has only _ob_next and _ob_prev attributes if Py_TRACE_REFS is set (eg. by pydebug). PyObject_NEW() and PyObject_NEW_VAR() call PyObject_Init() which register the new object to the object list, whereas PyObject_DEL() only free the memory. PyObject_DEL() doesn't the dealloc() method nor removing the object from the object list. So Py_DECREF() should be used instead: it calls the dealloc method and remove the object from the object list. PyObject_DEL() is misused in _sre and in curses modules. See attached patches.
