Thanks. Victor Stinner has now commented on the defect I raised to say
that it is actually a bug in the traceback module, in that it should
not be using Py_DECREF at all inside a signal handler. The fact that it
leads to use of the old trashcan macros is not the cause of the crash
that I saw.

I therefore don't think it's necessary for me to check with the updated
frameobject.c. Do you agree?  I can try to reproduce the situation, but
I can't just quickly test it because the infrastructure where the crash
was seen is now being used for other things.

Duncan.
