+interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always be empty, but
+sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause and the bug is deemed
+too obscure to invest the effort.
+
+Each test should fail when run from the command line:
+
+ ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py
+
+Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine the cause of the
+failure, as well as a bugs.python.org issue number if it exists. Particularly
+note if the cause is system or environment dependent and what the variables are.
+
+Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate test
+(even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the regression
+doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier to track down.
