Respectfully, if you want to help newbies on a general issue such as recursion, just make a top-level comment addressing this problem. Show an example of the problem and suggest ways it can be fixed. That way, if the community deems the comment to be helpful, it will bubble up near the top of the discussion and it will be one of the first comments that newbies encounter.
In this manner, you won't be repeating the same comment all over the place, and you will have something clear that novices can wrap their minds around. In my opinion, making grumpy statements to the effect of "this crashes when the input reaches X" doesn't really help the very novices you say you most want to reach.
