This is likely the cause. It's possible that the Python compiler
uses too much stack space, causing the stack to underrun, if
the default recursion limit is too high.

You should be able to check this by setting the recursion limit to
a lower value:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html?highlight=setrecursion#sys.setrecursionlimit

It defaults to 1000.
