SEGV in `_PyObject_ClearFreeLists` after exception in subinterpreter

What happened?

Executing the following two file python script with python3.14 -m src crashes the (sub?)interpreter with a SIGSEGV.

# src/executor.py
import importlib
import sys
import traceback

def execute_module():
    importlib.invalidate_caches()
    sys.modules = "xxx"
    importlib.import_module("zip")

# src/__main__,py
from concurrent import interpreters

sub_interpreter = interpreters.create()
queue = interpreters.create_queue()

def run_module(queue):
    import importlib
    execute_module_fn = importlib.import_module("src.executor").execute_module
    execute_module_fn()
    queue.put(True)

sub_interpreter.call(run_module, queue)
queue.get()
sub_interpreter.close()

The following reduction shows the same crashing behavior, I wasn't able to reproduce it while running in gdb however.

from concurrent import interpreters

sub_interpreter = interpreters.create()

def run_module():
    import importlib
    import sys
    import traceback

    importlib.invalidate_caches()
    sys.modules = "xxx"
    importlib.import_module("zip")

sub_interpreter.call(run_module)
sub_interpreter.close()

CPython versions tested on:

3.14

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

Output from running 'python -VV' on the command line:

Python 3.14.3 (main, Feb 3 2026, 15:32:20) [GCC 14.3.0] on linux

Inizia con lo script ridotto usando concurrent.interpreters, sys.modules = "xxx" e importlib.import_module("zip") su Python 3.14 Linux, quindi esamina il traceback attraverso _PyObject_ClearFreeLists, _PyGC_Collect, finalize_modules e Py_EndInterpreter. Il lavoro è completato quando il riproduttore non causa più un SIGSEGV durante la chiusura del subinterpreter, con copertura di regressione per il percorso dell’eccezione segnalato.
