I think I know what's going on. Stefan's change moved some of the
syntax-propertize stuff from Lisp into C. Now Emacs core has a variable
called syntax-propertize--done, known in C as syntax_propertize__done.
We make it buffer-local using Fmake_variable_buffer_local, but that
makes the variable buffer-local when it's _set_. Until it's set, the
variable retains its global value, which lives in the C variable
syntax_propertize__done. So if we syntax-propertize 1000 characters of
buffer A, then find-file in buffer B, we think we've syntax-propertized
up to position 1000 (the value of syntax_propertize__done) until we set
it to something else. In the case of Python, if we have a triple quote
in the first 1000 characters, we infloop.
