Armin Rigo <ar...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I propose that we first attempt to fix the crasher; depending on the solution 
we might then either fix the doc or the code for _PyInstance_Lookup().

If no-one is willing to fix this bug I am fine to let it go.  But somehow I am 
sure that there is code *somewhere* that sticks non-string keys in old-style 
classes or instances, and whose __eq__ has side-effects, like caching.  This 
would create hard-to-reproduce and hard-to-diagnose segfaults.  That's mainly 
the reason why I think that it should be fixed.
