gh-105699: Disable the Interpreters Stress Tests (gh-107354) The two tests are crashing periodically in CI and on buildbots. I suspect the problem is in the _xxsubinterpreters module. Regardless, I'm disabling the tests temporarily, to reduce the noise as we approach 3.12rc1. I'll be investigating the crashes separately.
