Hmmm... Well that was a not backward compatible way of doing it.
 This behavior has existed for a long long time.

Sorry for the extra effort you had to expend tracking down a mysterious problem because of this change. I remember having some discussions (probably just verbal, though, I can't find anything in email or bug tracker) about whether this "simple change" should have a policy, and we decided not to because we thought "out of stack space" errors would be relatively easy to identify and correct in projects that require large stack space.

Out of curiosity, if you can share details, why did it take so long to identify the problem in your case? (Or was it immediately obvious, and you just took that long to trace it back to a CMake change....?)
