Yes, this is the type of thing we've been struggling with for years. There used to be way more of these. I can't guarantee it'll be fixed with priority (it's mostly of the "then don't do that" type) but please do file a bug so someone with inclination can fix it. The same happens for deeply recursive tuples and lists BTW.

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