in this bug, filed by Zack, we loop forever after error in

This doesn't handle mutual infinite recursion, such as the modified
testcase below. I think the right answer is to make sure that if we
hit an instantiation depth error during instantiation of the
initializer of a variable, we set DECL_INITIAL to error_mark_node.
Perhaps just checking errorcount is good enough.
You are totally right. I discovered a couple of days later that I was
just papering over the real issue, the error messages were still
suboptimal with my patch, that was a bad sign. Thanks for your
suggestion, anyway, I'll see if I can make progress with it.
