OrderedDict.pop() can segfault when key equality changes between lookups

Crash report

What happened?

Calling collections.OrderedDict.pop() without a default value can cause a segmentation fault if the lookup key has a stateful __eq__ implementation that returns different results across successive comparisons.

The crash occurs on the current main branch.

Minimal reproducer:

from collections import OrderedDict

class K:
    def __init__(self):
        self.calls = 0

    def __hash__(self):
        return 12345

    def __eq__(self, other):
        self.calls += 1
        return self.calls == 1

k1 = K()
k2 = K()

od = OrderedDict()
od[k1] = "value"

od.pop(k2)

Running this with a locally built CPython from main results in:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected behavior:

• OrderedDict.pop() should not crash the interpreter.
• It should either remove the matching item or raise KeyError if the key is not found.

CPython main branch

Empieza con el punto de entrada OrderedDict.pop() y ejecuta el reproductor mínimo en una rama main de CPython compilada localmente. Se considera terminado cuando el reproductor ya no termina con un segmentation fault y pop() elimina el elemento coincidente o lanza KeyError cuando no se encuentra ninguna clave.
