Comment(by pmichaud):
Note that the original code itself has a bug -- after catching the
exception, it doesn't remove the exception handler with pop_eh. Thus the
fetch for the non-existent attribute re-triggers the top exception
handler.
I would personally prefer that we find a way to treat this the same as
other "recursion limit" code. I'm opposed to keeping a counter in the
exception handler itself, because a single handler really ought to be able
to handle an infinite number of (non-recursive) exceptions thrown to it.
(Summary: I vote against the patch and hope for something better.)
