[issue13546] sys.setrecursionlimit() crashes IDLE

[Ji Han]

New submission from Ji Han :

The following code snippet will crash IDLE:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.setrecursionlimit((1<<31)-1)

The crash happens immediately and is consistently reproducible (environment: 
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, Python 2.7.2 for Windows X86_64).

[issue13546] sys.setrecursionlimit() crashes IDLE

It says 'python.exe has stopped working'. Details:

  Problem Event Name:   APPCRASH
  Application Name: python.exe
  Application Version:  0.0.0.0
  Application Timestamp:4df4b010
  Fault Module Name:MSVCR90.dll
  Fault Module Version: 9.0.30729.6161
  Fault Module Timestamp:   4dace4e7
  Exception Code:   c0fd
  Exception Offset: 0001edcf
  ... ... ...

P.S. I'm well aware recursions won't go that deep. But crashing IDLE (instead 
of Raising an Error) by simply setting an option is still annoying.
