That would be nice to explain a bit more here. Where did the infinite
loop come from? How does your patch fix it?

If the patch fix this, then it's not a really big problem. The test
failure is an infinite loop. That would be problematic if ran
non-interactively, but I think it's Ok since we only run the testsuite
manually.
