An external timer can run Python again when the profiler converts or releases its result or reports an unraisable exception. Calling clear() or disable() at that point could free a profiling context still in use. Calling Profiler.init() from the timer could also destroy the active callable. Keep the guard active through result handling and reject reinitialization while an external timer is running.
(cherry picked from commit c2b7e0a)
