Issue 27019: Reduce marshal stack depth for 2.7 on Windows debug build (original) (raw)

I'd like to propose backporting the change in issue 22734 to the 2.7 branch. The marshal recursion depth appears to be at the root of the failures of the Windows 8 and 10 buildbots in test_marshal on that branch, which is still using a depth of 2000.

The one thing I haven't yet been able to figure out is why this only seems to happen under Windows 8/10, and not 7/XP, but I don't think the change is harmful in any case.

The attached patch, adapted from issue 22734 is against the current 2.7 tip.
