Issue #6083: Fix multiple segmentation faults occured when PyArg_ParseTuple
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a4c85f9b8f58

This test has a problem: though it tests not the ability to set a CPU hard limit, it fails if the hard limit is limited. Perhaps, ignore any exception there? Could you please help me re-write it correctly, so that I can run it on gyle--ALT's builder host--successfully):

    # Issue 6083: Reference counting bug
    def test_setrusage_refcount(self):
        try:
            limits = resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_CPU)
        except AttributeError:
            self.skipTest('RLIMIT_CPU not available')
        class BadSequence:
            def __len__(self):
                return 2
            def __getitem__(self, key):
                if key in (0, 1):
                    return len(tuple(range(1000000)))
                raise IndexError

        resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_CPU, BadSequence())

The failure:
