I fixed that in Oct in head and 2.4 branch. Although Skip filed a bug since Py_FatalError() is called which generates a core dump in debug builds at least. http://python.org/sf/1353504

I'm not sure what else can be done except perhaps just print to stderr and exit() rather than abort().

>>> sys.setrecursionlimit(1<<30)_ _>>> f = lambda f:f(f) >>> f(f) Segmentation fault

Added as Lib/test/crashers/recursive_call.py

I'm sure there are many more similar to this one though.

There's more, all from Python itself.

We should at least try to clearly document limitations such as these. That's why I added the crashers directory. Maybe we can even find volunteers to fix these.
