I guess sys.setrecursionlimit was meant to be called with a large number.
Calling it with a small one roadblocks the interpreter. Luckily, there can
be just enough room to call setrecursionlimit again with something
reasonable to get it all back. Not enough room for `eval
("sys.setrecursionlimit (2000)`, though.
