Calling function exec() with large size can cause a segmentation fault in Python 3.7 -3.10. Please check the following two examples. The example 1 works as expected, while the second one triggers segmentation fault on Python 3.7,3.8,3.9,3.10. The primary difference between these two examples lay on the value of "n".   




Example 1:
=========================================
mylist = []
n = 100000
print(exec("mylist"+"+mylist"*n))
==========================================

The actual output: Recursion Error on Python 3.5-3.10 (as expected)



Example 2:
===================================
mylist = []
n = 1000000
print(exec("mylist"+"+mylist"*n))
===================================

The actual output: Recursive Error on Python 3.5, 3.6 (as expected),  segmentation fault on Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 (not as expected)
