I guess sys.setrecursionlimit was meant to be called with a large number.  
Calling it with a small one roadblocks the interpreter.  Luckily, there can 
be just enough room to call setrecursionlimit again with something 
reasonable to get it all back.  Not enough room for `eval 
("sys.setrecursionlimit (2000)`, though.
