New submission from str1442 <lancer...@freenet.de>:
After playing around with the setrecursionlimit() Function in the sys
module, i noticed it crashes if you set the limit to a value that is too
high. I explored this further until i noticed the value from which the
crashing begins is exactly 18063. I know that the highest setable value
is platformdependent, but crashing seems inappropriate if a value is
given that is too high.
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Testing, last upgrade one month ago.
uname -svomr:
Linux 2.6.27.7 #4 SMP Fri Nov 28 01:44:17 CET 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
(Kernel is a pure kernel.org Kernel, self compiled)
Python Version in question is 2.5.4. Searching through the tracker for
setrecursionlimit brought no corresponding issues.
This is a the test script I used:
import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(18063)
def f():
g()
def g():
f()
f()
