This flag + temporarily *disables* the normal protection; this allows cleanup code + to potentially outgrow the recursion limit while processing the + RuntimeError. + * "last chance" anti-recursion protection is triggered when the recursion + level exceeds "current recursion limit + 50". By construction, this + protection can only be triggered when the "overflowed" flag is set. It + means the cleanup code has itself gone into an infinite loop, or the + RuntimeError has been mistakingly ignored. When this protection is + triggered, the interpreter aborts with a Fatal Error. + + In addition, the "overflowed" flag is automatically reset when the + recursion level drops below "current recursion limit - 50". This heuristic + is meant to ensure that the normal anti-recursion protection doesn't get + disabled too long. + + Please note: this scheme has its own limitations.
