GCC CVS: infinite recursion? in safe_from_p

[tm <tm at mail dot kloo dot net>]

version: CVS mainline
   Host: i386-linux
 target: sh-elf

When the file imdecode.i from stress-1.17 is compiled with the options:

-O2 -m4 

the compiler segfaults.

Running the compiler in a debugger with the testcase seems to 
indicate the compiler goes into an infinite recursion;

At this point, dumping a backtrace is extremely bad, because GDB itself
goes into an infinite loop attempting to dump the stack frames, and
becomes unresponsive:

Testcase is imdecode.i from stress-1.17. Source available on request.
