Thanks for the changes! I am incorporating them in my emacs config since I keep running into the infinite loop :)

Am I right in saying that `frame-list-1` is only currently being used in `make-frame-names-alist`, or did you mean to use it in other places as well?
If that's the only place, I think this function is only being used by `select-frame-by-name`. Both of these functions do not stipulate an order in there docs, so I am not sure a particular ordering is required?

Also a suggestion: if the ordering is indeed required, is there a reason for defining a new function instead of changing `frame-list` to take an argument (where the list starts), e.g., when passing nil the order is not modified.
