The interpreter will be deallocated before we later call _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() to walk the linked list.
That said, I think there's a related problem that I still need to address. Namely, every remaining object in the linked list will be (effectively) freed when the interpreter's allocator is finalized, so the _ob_next and _ob_prev accesses might segfault. It likely isn't a big problem during runtime finalization (except perhaps for embedders) but I'll fix that regardless.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure that's not actually a problem. We only call _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() in Py_FinalizeEx() and only for the main interpreter, which is statically allocated. Objects in the linked list might still cause a segfault but only if they would have before this change, so I'm not going to worry about that here. I will leave a note in the code though.
