Yes, that's nearly what I meant. I think -- if ECL doesn't [properly] --
Sage should catch the segfault, abort the current computation, and
[ideally] return to the `sage:` prompt.
So, as I see it, ECL currently doesn't properly detect or handle the stack
overflow (returning with an error instead of doing whatever it currently
tries to, if the behavior is [partially] intentional at all), nor does
Sage catch the segfault apparently because ECL installs its own signal
handler(s).
