I've tried to import a module which only define a list
of 170000 elements (a word list) which defines an
element per line, so the module also has 170000 lines
in it. Here's the error :

--- CUT ---
Python 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 20 2002, 10:14:34) 
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more

>>> import dictionnaire
python: ../Python/ceval.c:695: eval_code2: Assertion
`(stack_pointer - f->f_valuestack) <= f->f_stacksize'
failed.
Abandon
--- CUT ---

this seems to be the same problem as bug id 210647 but
there's no segfault.

the module is attached to this bug report.
