Editor freezes when entering Play Mode with big numbers in a script

Unity: Scripting

2023.1.X

2022.2.X

Seems like the issue lies within the user's code somewhere, probably a stack overflow or a loop that won't end (or take a really long time)

How to reproduce the issue:

Expected result: Editor doesn’t freeze
Actual result: Editor freezes after clicking the Play Mode button

Reproducible with: 2020.3.37f1, 2021.3.6f1, 2022.1.9f1, 2022.2.0a19, 2023.1.0a2

Reproduced on: Windows 10 (Intel)
