That's a slightly different description of what I suspect is the same
bug. It uses the example of one object calling another "through" an
uplevel. It then gives a sensible, albeit unexpected and incorrect,
error. ("Sensible" meaning "intended for programmer consumption".)
My example is an object calling *itself* and the error is an internal
complaint about "context".
However, note the comment from "dkf" on 2013-12-01, which mentions wrong
context and invisible stack frames. That makes sense to me and would
also apply to my issue, I think.
I see the severity is "critical" but it's also assigned to nobody. What
does that translate to probable-days-until-fixed? It's it's short, I can
just wait and see if my thing is fixed. If it's long, maybe I should
submit another bug or add my example to this bug.
