New submission from Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar>: Set sys.setrecursionlimit to 50 or lower. Then, the second time the recursion limit is reached, the interpreter crashes with a stack overflow. This happens both with released 3.0.1 and the py3k branch, on Windows. At least on my PC, 51 appears to be the minimum acceptable value for sys.setrecursionlimit.
