That seems uninteresting to anyone in 2016. Any objections to removing it?

We're still maintaining compatibility with Python 2.4 and the bug
apparently still exists, so I would perhaps keep it until we kill
support for Python 2.4.

Since the bug doesn't happen in production builds of Python, only in
debug builds, I'm not really worried that it's still a factor, even
if you believe that the Python folk still haven't patched it.
In short, I agree with Heikki that we could remove this.
