 disappears.

 Do you really say: ''Any''? I ask, because the "classical" application of
 `TripleDict` in sage.structure.coerce would either have `None` (for
 coercion maps) or an operation (for actions) as third key item.

 Hence, if a strong reference to the third key items of `TripleDict`
 suffices to fix the problem, then I reckon the "non-classical" use of
 `TripleDict` in #11521 is involved in the segfault: The cache for Homsets,
 which has categories as third key items.
