It seems better to tune the generic check than to special-case str, repr, and getattr.

Right. This would be a step forward, at least for recursive Python code (which is the most common complaint). Reducing the current value by half, i.e. setting MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH = 5000 works for me (Linux & AIX)

Agreement on 5000?

Doesn't solve the problem for C code (extensions) though...
