Comment (by albertstrasheim):

 Confirmed with 1.0.2.dev3572. I ran the provided code through Valgrind.
 After a while Valgrind crashes with:

 {{{
 ==3912== Stack overflow in thread 1: can't grow stack to 0xBE416FEC
 ==3912==
 ==3912== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
 ==3912==  Access not within mapped region at address 0xBE416FEC
 ==3912==    at 0x444CC9B: array_dealloc (arrayobject.c:1907)
 }}}

 Running under gdb, I get the following backtrace when it crashes:

 {{{
 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
