Maximum recursion depth exceeded

[kravietz]

I'm getting this exceptions during execution of task dev-sec.os-hardening : minimize access and since the task crawls through a number of directories with binaries (/bin, /usr/bin etc) I suspect this is related to the number of binaries in each of them. Specifically, the task only crashes in /usr/bin which has over 2100 binaries in my system, while other dirs have just around a hundred.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in __instancecheck__

Hey @kravietz, thanks for reporting.
I believe, you're hitting this bug: #171

Can you try again with the master-branch?
