Previously, excessive nesting in expressions would blow the stack and segfault the interpreter. Now, a hard limit based on the configured recursion limit and a hardcoded scaling factor is applied. |

README
This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause the interpreter to segfault. Ideally this directory should always be empty, but sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause and the bug is deemed too obscure to invest the effort. Each test should fail when run from the command line: ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine the cause of the failure, as well as a bugs.python.org issue number if it exists. Particularly note if the cause is system or environment dependent and what the variables are. Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate test (even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the regression doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier to track down. Also see Lib/test_crashers.py which exercises the crashers in this directory. In particular, make sure to add any new infinite loop crashers to the black list so it doesn't try to run them.
