faulthandler._stack_overflow() is written to crash. The comparison on stack pointers is just here to avoid an unlimited loop. A stack of 100 MB is something really large. I never seen an OS where faulthandler._stack_overflow() doesn't crash yet. Here is a patch using Py_uintptr_t instead of void*. Can someone test with GCC 5?
