I disabled the KEEPALIVE_SIZE_LIMIT, as you suggested, and that also fixed the problem. The comment describe the code is really unnerving:

/* Limit for the Unicode object free list stay alive optimization.

...

Note: This is an experimental feature ! If you get core dumps when using Unicode objects, turn this feature off.

*/

Why was this experimental feature released with Python if it causes core dumps?
