This whole construct feels rather awful, if you ask me. Instead of papering over the issue it would be nice if we eventually fixed the root cause, which is that we use recursion on a data structure that has an unbounded depth in theory. Anyway, that is clearly outside of the scope of this patch series, so the bandaid is good enough for now. Patrick
