/* Protection against deeply nested recursive calls

   In Python 3.0, this protection has two levels:
   * normal anti-recursion protection is triggered when the recursion level
     exceeds the current recursion limit. It raises a RuntimeError, and sets
     the "overflowed" flag in the thread state structure. This flag
     temporarily *disables* the normal protection; this allows cleanup code
     to potentially outgrow the recursion limit while processing the
     RuntimeError.
   * "last chance" anti-recursion protection is triggered when the recursion
     level exceeds "current recursion limit + 50". By construction, this
     protection can only be triggered when the "overflowed" flag is set. It
     means the cleanup code has itself gone into an infinite loop, or the
     RuntimeError has been mistakingly ignored. When this protection is
     triggered, the interpreter aborts with a Fatal Error.

   In addition, the "overflowed" flag is automatically reset when the
   recursion level drops below "current recursion limit - 50". This heuristic
   is meant to ensure that the normal anti-recursion protection doesn't get
   disabled too long.

   Please note: this scheme has its own limitations. See:
   http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-August/082106.html
   for some observations.

/* Interface for threads.

   A module that plans to do a blocking system call (or something else
   that lasts a long time and doesn't touch Python data) can allow other
   threads to run as follows:

    ...preparations here...
    Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
    ...blocking system call here...
    Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
    ...interpret result here...

   The Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS pair expands to a
   {}-surrounded block.
   To leave the block in the middle (e.g., with return), you must insert
   a line containing Py_BLOCK_THREADS before the return, e.g.

    if (...premature_exit...) {
        Py_BLOCK_THREADS
        PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
        return NULL;
    }

   An alternative is:

    Py_BLOCK_THREADS
    if (...premature_exit...) {
        PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
        return NULL;
    }
    Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS

   For convenience, that the value of 'errno' is restored across
   Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_BLOCK_THREADS.

   WARNING: NEVER NEST CALLS TO Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS AND
   Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS!!!

   The function PyEval_InitThreads() should be called only from
   init_thread() in "_threadmodule.c".

   Note that not yet all candidates have been converted to use this
   mechanism!
