If allocating a thread-local object’s internal dictionary or watchdog set fails, a subclass finalizer can run with that state missing. Accessing a thread-local attribute then dereferences the missing state and crashes; allocate both containers before creating the object. Backport to 3.15 and 3.14.
(cherry picked from commit 4a61673)
