As I really do not have anything better to do at the moment, I have written
a patch to Python/marshal.c that prevents Python dumping core when trying
to marshal stack bustingly deep (or recursive) data structure.

It just throws an exception; even slightly clever handling of recursive
data is what pickle is for...

[Fred Drake:]  Moved magic constant 5000 to a #define.

This closes SourceForge patch #100645.
