[Windows] psutil 5.8.0 segfaults on disk_partitions()

[Huite]

Summary

• OS: Windows
• Architecture: 64bit
• Psutil version: 5.8.0
• Python version: 3.9.9, also 3.8.12
• Type: core

Description

This results in a segfault:

import psutil; psutil.disk_partitions()

I've downgraded with pip install psutil==5.7.3; version 5.7.3 is fine.

I just came back home from the office and retried: unfortunately it doesn't appear to be deterministic.

I can run the python lines above just fine now. (This makes sense to me personally at least, because I could work with downstream packages just fine yesterday evening, but not this morning while I hadn't updated these packages!)
