However, testcpickle takes a different path and doesn't see this doubling of the count - therefore dieing at the depth of 629 that I can see.

629 is a very low number, far lower than the default recursion limit of 1000. Please open a bug for the problem.

My solution to this was to simply double the stack size for the executables in 64bit builds, from 2MB to 4MB (2.1 and 4.2 for debug builds.) Is this an appropriate fix?

Unless this can be set in the configure script for all affected architectures, I'm not sure this is ok.

Regards

Antoine.
