CPython is somewhat weak for recursive calls.  Almost all cases can
be blocked by default recursion limit (1000), but some of new-style
methods and recursive calls for internal methods that consumes more
than regular calls require more lower limit.  You can prevent the
bus error with sys.setrecursionlimit(500).
