Just noticed this and wondered if it came under the Python should never crash mantra. Should sys.getrecursionlimit() perhaps be taken into account somewhere?

>>> D = {'a': None}
>>> for i in xrange(150000):
...     D = {'a': D}
...
>>> D
{'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a':
{'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': .... ': {'a': {'a': {'a':
{'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {[+]'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a': {'a':
{'a': {'a' .... Bus error
bash$

Cheers,

David.
