[New-bugs-announce] [issue11383] compilation seg faults on insanely large expressions

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

~/devel/py3k$ ./python -c "compile('1*'*100000+'1', 'broken', 'eval')"
Segmentation fault

Going by the gdb stack trace we're blowing the stack due to the recursive descent in "compiler_visit_expr".
