I'm not sure why this change seems to have fixed the problem. The function is defined as:
cdef inline str_from_chars(s):
return bytes(s).decode('ascii')
However actually inlining the function here prevents the crash that is only seen on Windows when building with windows-2022 or windows-2025 but not if built on windows-2019... (The crash happens when running on any Windows version but not if the binaries were built on windows-2019.)

No, I was tricked. This change does not fix the problem. I fell for the classic printing things makes the segfault go away confusion.

Maybe this should use flint_free?

Or maybe it didn't even work then. I might have looked at the wrong CI output. It is late and there are too many jobs to check...

Maybe PyLong_FromString should be used:

It seems that using flint_free fixes this although now there is a crash somewhere else.

All the observed problems were fixed by using flint_free when using fmpz_get_str. I'm not sure why this issue appears now and not before.
It is probably worth reviewing all other uses of free to see if they should be flint_free...
