Hi,

I did a mistake in a function I defined, which creates an infinite loop. While clearly my little code is broken, I noticed it generates a segfault which I don't think is expected here... instead I would expect it eventually runs out of memory. So it seems there is a bug, which might affect other more desirable executions?

To reproduce:
$ bash
$ test() { test "$@" ; echo test ; }  # I forgot 'command' before 'test' here...
$ test
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can reproduce this on on bash 5.1.16 and 5.2.1 (I didn't try other versions).

Regards,
Thibault
