The bug in question causes a core dump on Unix because of a broken radd. There's another bug (110615) that does that same thing with recursive invocations of repr. And, of course, there's: def foo(x): return foo(x) foo(None) I believe that these bugs have been fixed on Windows. Fredrik confirmed this for one of them, but I don't remember which one. Would someone mind confirming and updating the records in the bug tracker?

my checkstack patch fixes #110615 and #112943 on windows. cannot login to sourceforge right now, so I cannot update the descriptions.

I don't see an obvious solution. Is there any way to implement PyOSCheckStack on Unix?

not that I know... you better get a real operating system ;-)
