Currently, when the "recursion limit" is reached, a RuntimeError is
raised. RuntimeError is in the PEP renamed to UserError. UserError is
in the new hierarchy located below StandardError, below Exception.

I think that in the new hierarchy this error should be in the same
"critical" category as MemoryError. (MemoryError includes general
stack overflow.)
