Parachuting into a random point in the thread...

Does this have any real bearing on 2.2.1? Should pymalloc have a mild warning sticker applied to it for this release? Or is this just another possible-to-exploit but basically impossible to run into by accident hole in Python?

You'll excuse me if I don't want to backport recent pymalloc changes to release22-maint...

Cheers, M.
