FYI: segfault on stack overflow on linux, ocaml 4.12 #321

I just reported this problem which occurs during a call to Alcotest.run: on Linux we're supposed to get a Stack_overflow exception but here we're getting a segfault. I doubt it has anything to do with alcotest but I don't know. Hopefully someone will find a way to reproduce the bug without involving alcotest.

Here's the report with repro and system details: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/10645

Thanks for letting us know. Looks like this was a compiler bug after all, so I'm closing this issue. Feel free to re-open if it happens again.
