@Stefan I'm now also convinced this is happening although I still can't figure out exactly where the StackOverflowError is going. With the debugger connected and an exception breakpoint on StackOverflowError, run

james@james-ubuntu:~/git/jython/dist$ java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=1045 -Xss1024k -jar jython.jar Lib/test/test_json.py

I can reliably get test_json to be paused as the exception is thrown, usually in test_endless_recursion which sounds reasonable, and after disconnecting the test runs to completion, so normal execution has resumed somehow...

Unfortunately Eclipse seems to be having serious issues getting the stack and allowing me to step through it, probably due to the state the JVM is in, the debugger just freezes which is strange I wonder if there is some other way...
