Also, it seems there are no infinite recursion detection:

# with recursive x(level, parent, child) as (
   select 1::integer, * from test_connect_by where parent is null
   union all
   select x.level + 1, base.* from test_connect_by as base, x where base.child
= x.child
) select * from x;
... it waits and waits and waits ...
Well, psql might wait and wait but it's actually receiving rows. A cleverer
client should be able to deal with infinite streams of records.
I think it's the other way around. The server should not emit infinite number of records.

How about adding new GUC parameter "max_recursive_call"?

Yes, why not?
MSSQL has a similar MAXRECURSION hint for WITH RECURSIVE queries
according to their docs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186243.aspx
