When two modules `use` each other, Rakudo does not throw a compile-time error
as it should.
Instead, it just hangs and keeps eating more and more RAM until the kernel
kills the program.
Minimalist test case to reproduce the problem:
$ echo "use B;" > A.pm
$ echo "use A;" > B.pm
$ perl6 -I. -e 'use A;'
Insight from IRC discussion:
psch: we did have circular module loading detection at some point...
probably got clobbered with all the CUR work though :/
lizmat: before, the detection lived in the nqp code, if I recall
now, it is the responsibility of the CUR to detect circularities
a start would be writing a test :-)
