On apple-gunkies in /usr/gnu/gcc, I ran gdb on cc1
and did
dis loop_stack.data.loop.start_label

GDB stopped at a breakpoint when loop_stack was 0,
and it got an error (not surprisingly) computing that expression.
It then said "disablng display 1 to avoid infinite recursion".

It should not disable the display.  It should simply
ignore that display when it gets an error, but leave it
enabled so that it will display as requested whenever it
is valid.
