[New-bugs-announce] [issue24851] infinite loop in faulthandler._stack_overflow

[Paul Murphy]

New submission from Paul Murphy:

This is a duplicate of Issue 23654, except it occurs on GCC 5.1 with -O2 when building for a ppc64le target.

GCC is optimizes this as a tail call, removing the accesses to the "unused" stack variables.
