Problem description
When python3.8 starts a c++ dynamic library containing pybind11, the dynamic library will crash. If you use a C++ process to call this dynamic library, it can run normally

Research direction
Start with the provided py::scoped_interpreter and pybind11::eval_file reproduction, then compare loading the dynamic library from Python 3.8 with calling it from a C++ process. Confirm the crash conditions and environment details, and consider the issue complete only when the failure is reproducible and its cause and fix are covered by appropriate project tests.
