| Fix:
| ksh has a fixed recursion depth limit (4096 on 32 bit machines, not
| that many). I'm not sure we want this.
We don't want a fixed recursion limit - it's against GNU philosophy to
enforce arbitrary limits. However, see a recent thread from bug-gnu-utils
on the same issue:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2008-01/msg00042.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2008-01/msg00043.html
including libsigsegv as an option for making stack overflow detection
result in nicer output than a crash.
