It seems like Python has an invalid object somewhere. PYTHONDUMPREFS=1 makes Python crash at exit.

$ PYTHONDUMPREFS=1 ./python -c pass
(...)
0x7f1992292448 [1] (<class '_thread._localdummy'>, <class 'object'>)

0x9c98a0 [2] <class '_thread._localdummy'>
0x7f1992217dc0 [1] 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can reproduce this on Python 3.5 and 3.6 too
