As far as I can see, this is caused by a bug/race in libeatmydata's
initialization, as described before.
It is not a problem in libfiu, or its tests.
The attached patch for libeatmydata fixes the issue, but it's mostly for
illustration since I don't know how the maintainers would prefer to fix
this, and I have not tested it thoroughly (for example there's a chance of
infinite recursion in some very odd conditions, but it might be better to
leave it on purpose to ease debuggability).
I fail to see those, could you maybe expand on where you think there
could be infinite recursions?
Looking at this again, and digging around my git repository, I think I
wrote this note based on a previous iteration of the patch.
I think the patch in your email fixes the problems I was originally
worried about, and can't find any infinite recursion paths right now.
Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks!
Alberto
