For a comparison, PyPy sandbox is a compiled from higher-level language program that by design does not have all sorts of problems described. The amount of code you need to carefully review is very minimal (as compared to the entire CPython interpreter). It does not mean it has no bugs, but it does mean finding segfaults is a significantly harder endeavour.

Well, there's a bug tracker that lists some of them, which is not that hard to find. Does your claim about "a significantly harder endeavour" refer to finding a crash or to finding a fix for it?
