bug#31229: 27.0.50; Semantic mode for Python causes segmentation fault

[Stuart]

Emacs segfaults when semantic-mode is enabled in a python buffer. To
reproduce this, place the python code below into a file. I called it 
'the_file.py'.
Then run 'emacs -Q the_file.py', then 'M-x semantic-mode'.

Here's the contents of a file that emacs crashes on:

import sys
import re

def foo(x):
     print(x)
     print("Hello world!")

def bar(x):
     print("I'm a teapot")

class emacs_bug:

     def __init__():
         pass

Output from gdb:

(gdb) run -Q the_file.py

Confirmed on RHEL 7.4 (clicking around the menu bar triggers it for me).
Crashes at lread.c:1777.
Reverting f939cd0 fixes it.

Thanks, I tried to fix it.
