[New-bugs-announce] [issue13546] sys.setrecursionlimit() crashes IDLE

[Ji Han]

New submission from Ji Han <hanji1984 at gmail.com>:

The following code snippet will crash IDLE:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.setrecursionlimit((1<<31)-1)

The crash happens immediately and is consistently reproducible (environment: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, Python 2.7.2 for Windows X86_64).
