Crash on _PyTuple_Fini for code using sub interpreters #112140
Description
Crash report
What happened?
In certain cases, the finalization stage of CPython is crashing when free'ing the PyTuple Free lists (see stack trace).
One such example I can consistently reproduce is this import (pip install hypercorn)
import _xxsubinterpreters as interpreters
i = interpreters.create()
interpreters.run_string(i, "from hypercorn.asyncio.run import asyncio_worker")
Output:
Debug memory block at address p=0x10e8393b0: API '�'
15987178197214944733 bytes originally requested
The 7 pad bytes at p-7 are not all FORBIDDENBYTE (0xfd):
at p-7: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-6: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-5: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-4: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-3: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-2: 0xdd *** OUCH
at p-1: 0xdd *** OUCH
Because memory is corrupted at the start, the count of bytes requested
may be bogus, and checking the trailing pad bytes may segfault.
The 8 pad bytes at tail=0xdddddddeec61718d are zsh: segmentation fault python test_hypercorn.py

@tonybaloney, is this still a problem? I just tried it on main and did not get a crash.
