On OSX, with --enable-shared, if you shut down python and reinitialize, you can get a crash.

Repro steps: see attached crashy.c
gcc -I. -I ../Include/ -L. crashy.c -lpython3.9
./a.out

On OSX, with --enable-shared, you get a crash! On other platforms including on OSX static builds, no crash.

Not a regression: it's present in 2.7 (where we actually hit it).

PR incoming, the fix is simple. It has to do with caching (on OSX shared builds only) a stale value for the environment when building os.environ the first time; if you change the environment, the second initialization reads garbage when building os.environ.

Ping! The patch has been ready for review for over a month.

If the patch can be backported to 2.7.x before that gets end-of-lifed it would be ideal.
