Description
Calling function compile() in "single" mode to compile large size expression can cause a crash IronPython. See the following example. The example trigger crash when n > 10000, e.g. n = 1000,100000,1000000
test.py
mylist = []
n = 10000
print(compile("mylist"+"+mylist"*n,'','single'))
Crash report:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with the test.py example, varying n above 10000 and using compile() in "single" mode. Trace the failure from the compile entry point using the provided stack trace; done means large size expressions no longer crash IronPython and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
