Recursion Error While Handling Recursion Error

Thank you for sharing this writeup!

Regarding the Emacs example: You can make Emacs crash entirely by triggering internal recursion in the garbage collector that exceeds the C stack limit, for example with:

    $ emacs -Q --eval "(let (v) (while t (setq v (cons v v))))"

yielding:

    Fatal error 11: Segmentation faultSegmentation fault: 11.

and the backtrace:

    Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
    Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0xbf7ffffc
