Yes, including my previous example with repr()
a = None
for i in range(100000):
a = {1: a}
repr(a)
This is a case where care has been taken for lists, tuples, but not dicts. If
we want to fix repr, the recursion checking shoudl probably go into
PyObject_repr(). I'm not advocating for a fix, Just pointing out yet another
way you can construct objects so that accessnig them will cause a crash.
