It can also crash.
ast.literal_eval('+0'*10**6)
The cause is that all AST handling C code (in particularly converting the AST
from C to Python) is recursive, and therefore can overflow the C stack. Some
recursive code has arbitrary limits which cause raising exceptions like
MemoryError in the initial example, but not all code has such checks.
