That eventually pointed to an off-by-one error in the new PyGenNeedsFinalizing(), where reading up trash made it very likely that old generators containing an active loop would falsely claim they need finalization. Alas, fix that, and Python segfaults when running testgenerators.

Even with the close() gimmicks still in place? If so, it sounds like the safest thing for a2 might be to claim that generators always need finalizing. :(
