Descriptive Problem Summary:
running an infinitely-recursive proc with loop checks disabled causes a segfault, rather than a soft crash when DD fails to allocate memory

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
run the code below

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
/world/loop_checks = 0

/world/New()
recurse(1)

/proc/recurse(n)
if(!(n % 10))
world.log << n
.(n+1)


Expected Results: DD would soft-crash and close the world when it failed to allocate memory for more recursions, or when it reached the end of its allocated space.

Actual Results: Segfault after a little over 4000 calls.
