Just the comment on the failing assert:
assert(gc->gc.gc_refs != 0); /* else refcount was too small */
There are more pointers to the object than the object's reference
count says there are. That's fatally bad. Probably due to a missing
Py_INCREF, possibly due to an "extra" Py_DECREF.

You need to debug C code here, not Python code. It's unlikely that
the problem is in C code that ships with Python; it's far more likely
to be in your C code, or in C code from a third-party extension
module.
