When this didn't fix my problem, and when recompiling glibc didn't fix my
problem, but DID fix the Misc/find_recursionlimit.py behavior, I became
suspicious.

The solution?

My !@@#%#@ Web server (AOLserver) has a configuration directive that
limits the stack size.  Since most people just use Tcl with AOLserver,
and Tcl needs the stack depth of a wading pool, it was set to something
completely absurd.  I have fixed this by editing the configuration file.
