Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

Trying to set the recursion limit to a large number defeats its purpose.  As 
documented in the Standard Library Reference:

The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the 
limit higher when she has a program that requires deep recursion and a platform 
that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high 
limit can lead to a crash.
