[issue27277] Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault in test_exceptions

[Jelle Zijlstra]

Jelle Zijlstra added the comment:

This test asserts that indefinite recursion causes a RecursionError, but such recursion can instead segfault if the amount of stack space available is less than Python's recursion limit (sys.getrecursionlimit()).

Are you using any unusual settings for the recursion limit? Perhaps the solution here is to have CPython use a lower default recursion limit on your platform.
