?!  No, I don't find it acceptable for any program to dump core on stack 
overflow. And even if it were OK for (say) 'cat' to dump core due to stack 
overflow in a typical environment (which it's not), Emacs is more important than 
'cat', because people use it as an interactive text editor and do not want to 
lose their work.

If so, that's a bug that should get fixed. It's not an excuse to introduce 
similar bugs.

Really, the idea that it's OK for Emacs to crash is a nonstarter. Emacs should 
not crash.
