It's one of two things:
USE_RECURSION_LIMIT isn't #define'd
or
USE_RECURSION_LIMIT is #define'd, but to a value too large for
that box
There's a maze of #ifdef'ery near the start of _sre.c setting
USE_RECURSION_LIMIT differently for different platforms. Windows doesn't
use USE_RECURSION_LIMIT -- it uses a different gimmick based on being able
to test for C stack overflow directly on Windows.
test_re.py *should*, at this time, fail in exactly the same ways I reported
it failing on Windows.
