Crash report
What happened?
The test_free_threading.test_type.TestType.test_attr_cache_consistency crashes intermittently. I unfortunately haven't been able to find a smaller reproducer than running test_free_threading forever using the matchfile below. Even then, it takes several hours for the crash to happen.
Repro
./python -m test test_free_threading -F --matchfile <matchfile>
Python backtrace:
Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault
