So your test case is currently a small Python script, plus *all* of
Python. I'm not downplaying your effort in producing the test case, just
explaining Jason's statement about "isolating the problem".

Python is written in C. Since the bug is to be fixed in Python, isolating
the part of the C code that exhibits the problem would help fixing the
bug.

Yep, that's why it's good to have the small Python test case as well. :-)
