Segmentation fault

this was discovered by oss-fuzz.

This may be a recent regression?  It didn't happen on my build from a few weeks ago.  worth testing on older versions.

I tested it on 3.10.1 and it didn't segfault on Windows 11 so seems like 3.11 regression.

Seems that the regression is caused by this commit:

The reason is that the line numbers are now correctly identified, and that causes existing code to not work correctly :(
