Crash report

What happened?

I found some crashes when adding an additional fuzz target in #111721.

# This script fails with a C assertion failure when assertions are enabled.
#
# I ran this through Python built from source with assertions enabled:
#
#     ./configure --with-assertions --prefix "$PWD/debugbuild"
#     make -j12 altinstall
#     ./debugbuild/bin/python/crash2.py
#
# I ran this on ARM64 macOS:
#
#     Darwin dialectic.local 23.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.1.0: Mon Oct  9 21:27:24 PDT 2023; root:xnu-10002.41.9~6/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000 arm64

# Input found via the fuzz target added in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/111721, then manually minimized
s = b"with(0,,):\n\x01"

# This line fails with a C assertion failure:
#
#     fuzz_pycompile: Objects/call.c:342: PyObject *_PyObject_Call(PyThreadState *, PyObject *, PyObject *, PyObject *): Assertion `!_PyErr_Occurred(tstate)' failed.

$ git bisect determined the issue was introduced in 81f4e11.

It appears the "invalid non-printable character" error was identified, but not promptly emitted to the user. Then when the "expected an indented block" error comes around, we see we are about to overwrite an error and we abort.
