The migration to importlib eliminated this crasher

If anyone finds another recursive C path that bypasses the recursion
limiting, they can add a new crasher example.

# The following example may crash or not depending on the platform.
# E.g. on 32-bit Intel Linux in a "standard" configuration it seems to
# crash on Python 2.5 (but not 2.4 nor 2.3). On Windows the import
# eventually fails to find the module, possibly because we run out of
# file handles.
# The point of this example is to show that sys.setrecursionlimit() is a
# hack, and not a robust solution. This example simply exercises a path
# where it takes many C-level recursions, consuming a lot of stack
# space, for each Python-level recursion. So 1000 times this amount of
# stack space may be too much for standard platforms already.
import sys
if 'recursion_limit_too_high' in sys.modules:
del sys.modules['recursion_limit_too_high']
import recursion_limit_too_high
