 "symptom": "Two cores each appending 3000 tuples produced a list reporting len()==6000 that yielded only 8 to 16 elements when iterated \u2014 99.87% of the data gone with no exception raised. Corrupted in 5 of 5 trials. Variants included TypeError: 'list' object isn't subscriptable on a genuine list, and a bare type object appearing in a slot, i.e. uninitialised heap surfaced as a Python object whose type() itself throws.",
