To reproduce the crash run the following two-lines script and, at the fisrt (Pdb) prompt, remove the last line of this script (and the following empty lines if any):

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
x = 1

then issue the 'quit' pdb command. This will cause an assert:

python: Objects/abstract.c:2079: PyObject_Call: Assertion `!PyErr_Occurred()' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

A patch is attached.

Thanks for the report and the patch. It was not easy to reproduce the issue, but I reproduced the assertion error. I'm not sure that it's useful to add an unit test.
