Address 0x7fffb1c62550 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 160 in frame
    #0 0x6eca60 in pwd_getpwnam_impl /scratch2/izbyshev/cpython/Modules/pwdmodule.c:203

  This frame has 3 object(s):
    [32, 40) 'name_chars'
    [96, 104) 'p'
    [160, 208) 'pwd' <== Memory access at offset 160 is inside this variable

Variables declared in the block scope created with Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS are referred to via a pointer outside of that scope (i.e., after their lifetime ends). The bug was introduced in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/23e65b25557f957af840cf8fe68e80659ce28629 .
