Hi Victor,

I challenge anymore to break pysandbox! I would be happy if anyone breaks it because it would make it more stronger.

I tried to run the files from Lib/test/crashers and --- kind of obviously --- I found at least two of them that still segfaults execfile.py, sometimes with minor edits and sometimes directly, on CPython 2.7.

As usual, I don't see the point of "challenging" us when we have crashers already documented. Also, it's not like Lib/test/crashers contains in detail all crashers that exist; some of them are of the kind "there is a general issue with xxx, here is an example".

If you are not concerned about segfaults but only real attacks, then fine, I will not spend the hours necessary to turn the segfault into a real attack :-)

A bientôt,

Armin.
