bug#56184: 29.0.50; Increasing max-redisplay-ticks after it is set very low does nothing

[Po Lu]

Start "emacs -Q", and then evaluate (with M-:)

  (setq max-redisplay-ticks 3)

after the window containing *scratch* no longer redisplays, evalute

  (setq max-redisplay-ticks 3000000000000000)

and type M-x redraw-display RET.  The entire frame will become blank and
refuse to redisplay until a new frame is created.
