bug#24358: 25.1.50; re-search-forward errors with "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size"

[Sam Halliday]

I don't know which alloc my build is using, I'm on archlinux and I
expect it will use the same impl that was causing the problems earlier
in the thread.

I also got the problem on the tip of emacs-25, but it's hard for me to
see which commits are relevant to this ticket because they've all been
squashed into the mainline instead of merged in.

I'm afraid I'm travelling today and cannot run these commands, I will
try to do this shortly.  How do I work out the command that make is
running?
