Oh, I understood. I always test with Python compiled using --with-pydebug. With pydebug, a segfault occurs. Without pydebug, there is an unlimited loop.

I'll open a feature request for more reliable segfaults. ;)

Still, on FreeBSD-8.0 the patch does not produce a traceback and also appears to change the signal:

[without the patch] $ ./python Lib/test/crashers/compiler_recursion.py Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) $ echo $? 139

[with the patch] $ ./python Lib/test/crashers/compiler_recursion.py Illegal instruction: 4 (core dumped) $ echo $? 132
