#
# The various methods of bufferobject.c (here buffer_subscript()) call
# get_buf() before calling potentially more Python code (here via
# PySlice_GetIndicesEx()). But get_buf() already returned a void*
# pointer. This void* pointer can become invalid if the object
# underlying the buffer is mutated (here a bytearray object).
#
# As usual, please keep in mind that the three "here" in the sentence
# above are only examples. Each can be changed easily and lead to
# another crasher.
#
# This crashes for me on Linux 32-bits with CPython 2.6 and 2.7
# with a segmentation fault.
