[issue25274] sys.setrecursionlimit() must fail if the current recursion depth is higher than the new low-water mark

> An alternative would be to remove completly the overflowed flag with its fatal error. It was introduced during large refactoring of Python, maybe the bug cannot occur anymore?

By the way, it doesn't exist in Python 2 at all. Try attached double_recursion_error.py program.


$ python2 double_recursion_error.py 
first recursion error
second recursion error


$ python3 double_recursion_error.py 
first recursion error
Fatal Python error: Cannot recover from stack overflow.
