Subject: 29.0.50; Segfault in ERT test
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2021 08:07:34 +0200

Emacs receives a segmentation fault when executing this file:

  (ert-deftest segfault ()
    (let ((debug-on-error nil))
      (error "foo")))
  
with

  emacs -Q -batch -l /tmp/test.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit

The backtrace in gdb is very long and seems to show an endless recursion
in Fsignal:

gdb -q --args emacs -Q -batch -l /tmp/test.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit
Reading symbols from emacs...
