Summary: NetBSD build with --with-pydebug causes SIGSEGV

Initial Comment:
The testInfiniteRecursion test in
Lib/test/test_exceptions.py causes Python to segfault
if it has been compiled on NetBSD with --with-pydebug.
This is due to the fact that the default stack size on
NetBSD is 2MB and Python tries to allocate memory for
debugging information on the stack.

The documentation (README under 'Setting the
optimization/debugging options'?) should be updated to
state that if you want to run the test suite with
debugging enabled in the interpreter, you are advised
to increase the stack size, probably to 4096.

This issue is also in release24-maint.

Matt
