Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry for not being clear.

Yes, he seems to belive that the new SRE scheme was introduced in 2.3,
but these tests should still expect RuntimeError in 2.3.

That's strange indeed. Either other changes were introduced in 2.3
which changed the number of recursions, what I don't belive to be
the case, or the fixed recursion limit was raised in that platform.
