Description
See the following code, we slice a bytearray object via subscripting, ironpython crashes. This test works well on CPython 3.9.0.
test.py
class X:
def __index__(self):
del b[0:0x10000]
return 1
b = bytearray(b"A"*0x100)
b[::X()] = bytearray(b"B"*0x8000)
Error message:

Research direction
Start by running the supplied test.py under the stated IronPython build and compare the bytearray subscript-assignment behavior with CPython. Trace the bytearray slicing and assignment path behind the crash, using the CommandLine.cs stack only as the reported failure location; done means the reproduction no longer crashes or leaks and has a regression test.
