Subject: 26.0.50:  read -- Re-entering top level after C stack overflow
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 19:12:07 -0700

I have modified versions of undo-tree.el and the cl family of functions (with different names [e.g., "lcl-..."] that use the old-style defstruct), which may be able to still take advantage of the vector method of dealing with structs.  I am receiving a message "Re-entering top level after C stack overflow".  It appears that `read` can no longer handle the following type of structure, perhaps because there is no built-in backwards compatibility -- this is a small example of the what `read` is able to handle in earlier versions of Emacs, but not the current master branch:
