pythongh-106923) There was a slight race in _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding() (when called from _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding()), between freeing the value and setting the variable to NULL, which occasionally caused crashes when multiple isolated interpreters were used. (Notably, I saw at least 10 different, seemingly unrelated spooky-action-at-a-distance, ways this crashed. Yay, free threading!) We avoid the problem by only setting the global variables with the main interpreter (i.e. runtime init). (cherry picked from commit 0ba07b2) Co-authored-by: Eric Snow <[email protected]>
