Yes, because it causes stack overflow.
On some platforms, Emacs recently learned how to recover from stack
overflow, but that protection is not 100% reliable even on those
platforms (notably, stack overflow during GC cannot be recovered
from), and even if Emacs recovers we recommend to orderly shut down
the session and start another one.
