Segmentation fault for large values of max-lisp-eval-depth

User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux)

In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.50 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.0.2)
 of 2004-04-24 on defun.localdomain

Doctor, doctor it hurts when I set `max-lisp-eval-depth' to a too high
value.

For example, when I evaluate these expressions in the *scratch* buffer
Emacs crashes with a segmentation fault:

 (setq max-lisp-eval-depth 25000)

 (defun foo ()
   (foo))

 (foo)

The example is silly, of course, but I *did* need a big value of
`max-lisp-eval-depth' for some code I was playing with -- and Emacs
crashed on me.
