(call_debugger): Take full care of extending stack limits to make space for the debugger, and restore the change afterward. Bind debug-on-error to nil. (restore_stack_limits): New subroutine. (Fsignal): Extend specpdl bound along with eval depth bound, for calling edebug. Don't do either one, for calling debugger. (find_handler_clause): Don't bind debug-on-error here. Don't unbind anything either. Temporarily advance max_specpdl_size for calling internal_with_output_to_temp_buffer. (grow_specpdl): Don't alter max_specpdl_size before signaling an error. (syms_of_eval) <max-specpdl-size>: Doc fix.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
