Now reverted with v5.25.2-89-gcc040a9
The failing Variable::Magic test can be reduced to:
use Variable::Magic qw<wizard cast>;
my $wiz2 = wizard;
my $wiz1 = wizard free => sub { warn "recasting\n"; &cast($_[0], $wiz2); die; };
eval {
my $v = do { my $val = 123; \$val };
&cast($v, $wiz1);
};
When $v goes out scope, the free magic method is called, which attached
new magic then dies. vmg_call_sv catches the error, then croaks.
The croak calls die_unwind, which now does FREETMPS, which triggers
another call to the free method, and so it recurses infinitely.
I haven't looked closely to see what is being freed by the FREETMPS and
why.
