Recursion limit

[Richmond Mathewson]

BUT . . .

How can one know how high one can set the recursionLimit before smoke, 
sparks
and flames are going to start leaping out of the back of the computer?

Or, less frivolously; how can one determine the upper limit on the 
recursionLimit before the
stack "hangs" (presumably that means the thing will lock solid) ?
