  Fix a crasher where Python code managed to infinitely recurse in C code without

  recursion check itself.

+Note: Check the dependencies of subprojects when building a subproject.  You 
+need to manually build each of the dependencies, in order, first.  A good 
+example of this is the pythoncore subproject.  It is dependent on both the 
+make_versioninfo and the make_buildinfo subprojects.  You can check the build 
+order by right clicking on the project name, in the solution explorer, and
