I am running in to the below error.

TASK [include\_role] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/queues.py”, line 268, in \_feed  
send(obj)  
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp  
^C [ERROR]: User interrupted execution

What do I need to do to figure out what is causing the above error. I have checked my playbook and roles and do not find a recursion there. What would be the next things for me to check?

Thanks for any help,
