[pylucene-dev] Infinite recursion causes segfault

[Pete]

When lucene has been imported & initVM'd, inifinite recursion causes a 
segfault, even if the recursing function doesn't use lucene.

In [1]: import lucene

In [2]: lucene.initVM(lucene.CLASSPATH)
Out[2]: <jcc.JCCEnv object at 0xb7e18300>

In [3]: def f():
   ...:     return f()
   ...:

In [4]: f()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Without initializing lucene VM:

<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Strangeness.
