Python 3.5.1, OS X 10.11.3.

I have an application that uses asyncio and Cryptography (via the AsyncSSH library). Cryptography has some parts written in C, I believe.

I'm testing my application by sending a keyboard interrupt while 2 tasks are working. My application doesn't clean up after itself correctly, so I get these warnings about pending tasks being destroyed, but I don't think I should ever be getting segfaults. I am able to consistently get this segfault by interrupting my application at roughly the same point.

I'm frankly intimidated by the segfault (it's been many years since I dug into one), but the most likely culprits are either Python or Cryptography since they're the only components of my application that have parts written in C, as far as I know.

I'm willing to help boil this down to something more minimal with some help. Right now I just have the repro at this branch of my application (which isn't too helpful for people other than myself):

Basically, launch a cluster on EC2, and as soon as one task reports that SSH is online, interrupt Flintrock with Control + C. You'll get this segfault.

Please try to get the Python stacktrace on the segfault using the faulthandler module: add faulthandler.enable() call at the beginning of your application.

I suspect a bug in your C code, not in asyncio. asyncio is written in pure Python.

Thanks for the tip. Enabling the fault handler reveals that the crash is happening from the Cryptography library. I'll move this issue there.

Thank you.
