+:c:func:`Py_EndInterpreter` now explicitly untracks all objects currently
+tracked by the GC. Previously, if an object was used later by another
+interpreter, calling :c:func:`PyObject_GC_UnTrack` on the object crashed if
+the previous or the next object of the :c:type:`PyGC_Head` structure became
+a dangling pointer. Patch by Victor Stinner.

+Re-introduced fix that allows recovery from stack overflow without crashing
+the interpreter.  The original fix as part of :issue:`42500` was reverted
+(see release notes for Python 3.9.4) since it introduced an ABI change in a
+bugfix release which is not allowed.  The new fix doesn't introduce any ABI
+changes.  Patch by Mark Shannon.
