Hi,

This Heisenbug was arduous to nail down. The following code causes the
stack overflow on the first run:

If the file is changed to compile successfully, then the compile will
succeed on subsequent attempts, even if the changes are reverted to
the original state. It only breaks on the first try. Something must be
cached, but I don't know what.

There might be some extraneous bits, but hopefully that will be enough
of a clue as to the problem.
