Stack overflow on unbounded recursion

[tiemeezeiv]

Tested this against master at commit 3e3e7af1:

    $ src/dash -c 'f(){ f;};f'
    segfault

Of course this is a pathological command string, but it looks like a clear case
of stack overflow:

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x0000000000407762 in argstr (p=0x4204b0 "f", flag=flag@entry=3) at 
expand.c:249
    249             int breakall = (flag & (EXP_WORD | EXP_QUOTED)) == EXP_WORD;
    (gdb) info proc mappings
          ...
          0x7ffff7ffe000     0x7ffff7fff000     0x1000        0x0
          0x7fffff7ff000     0x7ffffffff000   0x800000        0x0 [stack]
    (gdb) p/x $rsp
    $1 = 0x7fffff7fef50
    (gdb) x/i $rip
    => 0x407762 <argstr+34>:        sete   0x7(%rsp)

Is this a bug or have I just stumbled into a known "feature"?
