[New-bugs-announce] [issue27019] Reduce marshal stack depth for 2.7 on Windows debug build

[David Bolen]

New submission from David Bolen:

I'd like to propose backporting the change in issue 22734 to the 2.7 branch.  The marshal recursion depth appears to be at the root of the failures of the Windows 8 and 10 buildbots in test_marshal on that branch, which is still using a depth of 2000.

The one thing I haven't yet been able to figure out is why this only seems to happen under Windows 8/10, and not 7/XP, but I don't think the change is harmful in any case.

The attached patch, adapted from issue 22734 is against the current 2.7 tip.
