Yes, I've tried increasing the stack size.  I think it is a platform 
specific problem for threads on FreeBSD/AMD64.  Regardless of how large 
I make the stack, or how low I set the recursionlimit, python 2.3.4 
cannot complete test_re.py sucessfully on this platform.

I've tried bringing it up on the FreeBSD lists, but not got much of a 
response.  Python 2.4a3 must do *something* different with threads, as 
it can complete test_re.py on the same platform.  I've tried backporting 
over thread_pthread.py from 2.4a3, but that doesn't do it.  I think 
there may be extra defines set in the Makefile or configure.
