[issue21253] Difflib.compare() crashes on mostly different sequences

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

An obvious fix for the recursion limit error is to convert the .compare recursion to iteration with a stack (which I could try to do), but I don't know if the deep recursion is expected in this case, or is a bug. Tim?
