In 3.5.2+ at least, I'm reasonably convinced that all crashers are real, but I didn't spend the time to come up with actual examples or patches, beyond the first two items on the list. There are also non-crasher bugs where the current behavior is clearly wrong according to the documentation or the PEP. I've also added a few points that strike me as rather strange but not against the documentation. What should I do with this list? From my point of view, I could drop it all in a single issue, or possibly three of them (crashers, bugs, "strange"). Alternatively I can go ahead and open one issue per bullet point. Which way would you prefer? Or, if you think there is no point in me filing issues without actual examples and patches, then that's fine with me too and I will simply continue to expand my cpython-crashers.rst file.

I think 3 omnibus issues would be a reasonable way to go, with the discussion on those issues then splitting things out to either new issue reports, or entries in https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Lib/test/crashers/ (if any of the crashers can't be readily resolved).

Cheers, Nick.
