Summary: crash recursive __getattr__

Initial Comment:
The following code eats all stack space and crashes, 
both in Windows and Linux:

------------8<-------------
class C:
    def __getattr__(self, a):
        return object.__getattribute__(self, a)

c = C()
str(c)
------------8<-------------

It shoud probably raise "RuntimeError: maximum 
recursion depth exceeded" or similar instead.

I believe this is essentially the same as open bug
[ 1202533 ] a bunch of infinite C recursions
Closing as duplicate and adding note to 1202533.  Reopen if a 
fix to the above, if and when there is one, does not fix this.
