When triaging an issue you have to prioritise. Do you fix a problem that affects 2-3 people or one that may affect thousands?

The point is that such bugs shouldn't exist in the first place.

Using recursion on unbounded inputs on a programming language that doesn't support that (which are most) is an extremely classical mistake that really should be known to all programmers, especially those of low level languages that care about safety.

Every time you call something recursively you should be thinking "how deep is this?".
