FreeBSD's /usr/ports/lang/python port provides an option
dealing with this issue. Just build (or rebuild) python with
the option for huge stacksize. (IMHO that should be the default
anyways).
Since the binary packages get built with default options, one
has to build python from the port, if it was installed from
the package beforehand.
