[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #55258 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => Interpreter            
                Severity:              3 - Normal => 4 - Important          
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

                 Summary: Recursion causes a Segmentation Fault => Recursion
in a script file causes a segmentation fault

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.

Noting that this is a script, not a function file. If I turn test2.m into a
function file (simply wrapping the entire contents with 'function test2()' and
'endfunction'), it works as expected. When max_recursion_depth is hit, an
error is raised and the whole thing returns.

Also noting that this is a regression from Octave 4.2. In Octave 4.2.2, script
recursion works equally well and errors when it reaches max_recursion_depth as
expected.
