Crash report

What happened?

The following code causes a crash in cpython:

class Generic:

 def __call__(*a):
 print(a)

 def __getattr__(self, name):
 return Generic()

name_5 = Generic()
type name_3[*name_2] = 0
name_3[name_5][0]

output:

(<__main__.Generic object at 0x7fb99dc5a280>, name_3[<__main__.Generic object at 0x7fb99d792420>], (0,))
(<__main__.Generic object at 0x7fb99dbd7960>, None)
python3: ./Include/cpython/tupleobject.h:24: PyTuple_GET_SIZE: Assertion `PyTuple_Check(op)' failed.
fish: Job 1, '../cpython/install/bin/python3 …' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abbruch)

I found this example while fuzzing with pysource-codegen.

I think I see the problem. I'll work on a fix.

The 3.14 backport will be merged separately (probably in 3.14.1), thanks for the report!
