You didn't post any complete code that can be compiled.  You didn't
even tell where exactly does your program crash.  A simple test
program I used with code like the above worked for me without
crashing, so I cannot tell you anything useful except to look for a
bug in your program, in something other than these two loops.

Perhaps if you could post a small but complete program and the crash
traceback printed when it dies on your machine, you would get more
meaningful help.
