Maybe instead of "recursion too deep" have "stack space exhausted" or something
like that?
I've seen stack overflow errors on as few as 10 (maybe even fewer) stack frames
(with big objects). ASan is also more likely to make this a problem. I think
seeing "recursion too deep" but having only a dozen frames is probably
confusing.
Not that "stack space exhausted" is much better, but I think it's less likely
to be misleading.
And yes, please ask native speakers too, as I'm not one either. :-)
