[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

After updating to macOS Catalina, Emacs started crashing when opening
any file, even a file that doesn't exist.

I traced it to a stack overflow from a fix to bug #38618 (commit
bfc54230). A fix for the bug is included.

Hi, this looks good. I did wonder if I was using the right type when I
wrote that code, but it seemed to work, anyway, thanks for spotting it.

Pushed to emacs-27 as 58412402959d8f88e230f95c5fc7de072e115140.
