Every now and then and always before I release a Stackless version I compile Stackless with SLP_WITH_FRAME_REF_DEBUG defined and run the test suite. (The definition is in stackless.h.)
This time an assertion failed:

The cause is obvious: a recursive call into the interpreter from within SLP_UPDATE_TSTATE_ON_SWITCH. Within this function the thread state is in an inconsistent state and therefore the interpreter must not be called. In previous versions of Python the C-functions PyEval_SetTrace() and PyEval_SetProfile() were save, but upstream commit b82e17e6 added PySys_Audit() calls to
PyEval_SetTrace() and PyEval_SetProfile().
Probably the best solution would be to add appropriate PySys_Audit() calls to tasklet_set_trace_function(), tasklet_set_profile_function() and tasklet_setstate() and do not call the audit hook on tasklet switching.
