Documentation

If non-nil, attempt to recover from C stack overflows.

This recovery is potentially unsafe and may lead to deadlocks or data corruption, but it usually works and may preserve modified buffers that would otherwise be lost. If nil, treat stack overflow like any other kind of crash or fatal error.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.
