Summary: __getattr__ = getattr crash

Initial Comment:
class c(object):__getattr__ = getattr
c().spam

<segfault from overflowing the c stack>

Now granted... it's retarded to attempt this.  But out
of curiousity, I decided to be the retard, and noticed
the interpreter crashes instead of triggering a
RuntimeError for recursion.

As far as I know, getattr is instrumented with
Py_EnterRecursiveCall and Py_LEaveRecursiveCall... so a
bit curious as to how it's occuring.

The attached patch fixes this problem.  However, I'm
concerned there are more places like this.  I hope Armin has
some ideas if more things are needed to fix this problem.
