If I set up a simple recursion exception function, that calls itself every time an error is raised, Python throws a SIGABRT and crashes due to a "Stack Overflow".
Oddly enough, my system installation of Python 2.7 threw a RuntimeError instead of aborting, which is what I expected.

I tested the program against my 3.8 installation and got the same error.
