I think a safe approach would be to move everything out of unreachable and into either "collectable" or "finalizers". That way, we can do a while (!gclistisempty(unreachable)) loop and always deal with the head of the unreachable list. Each time through the loop, the head of the list can be moved to collectable or finalizers or become unlinked, so we always make progress.

Sound plausible?

Yes. I've got a patch that fixes the boom case, but I'm not sure I've handled the case where the object becomes reachable as a result of running PyObject_HasAttr(). I'll post after testing that.
