I opened the following issues to fix these crashers:

#14205: Raise an error if a dict is modified during a lookup. Fixed in 
Python 3.3.

#14199: Keep a refence to mro in _PyType_Lookup() and super_getattro(). 
Fixed in Python 3.3.

#14211: Don't rely on borrowed _PyType_Lookup() reference in 
PyObject_GenericSetAttr(). Fixed in Python 3.3.

#14231: Fix or drop Lib/test/crashers/borrowed_ref_1.py, it looks like 
it was already fixed 3 years ago.

The compiler recursion is not fixed yet.

Fixes may be backported to Python 2.7 and 3.2.
