Problem when using osmnx graph from file .... Recursion or not?

I am getting a recursion error when calling the osmnx function graph_from_file.

If I run it on pycharm without the debugger, it runs fine and outputs an exit code of zero. If I use the debugger, I get the error:

Process finished with exit code -1073741571 (0xC00000FD)

Which is the same thing encountered in this question. I am modifying the recursion limit using sys.setrecursionlimit(100000) which doesn't help.

Why am I getting this error? Is it related to recursion? If so why don't I get a RecursionError? Also how can I debug through my code without hitting exit code -1073741571?
