Some other recent occurrences got starred as bug 1159096, but this is quite obviously a new issue that should be tracked on its own.

In all these instances the failure occurs between 5 minutes and 5 minutes 30 seconds after the start of the test.  Passing instances of this test take between 4:30 and 4:50, so it looks like we're occasionally hitting the 5 minute timeout here.

We already skip this test on MacOSX and Android debug builds because it takes too long.  Maybe we should always skip it on MacOSX.

This test is testing infinite recursion.  In the shell we get to a depth of about 770 before we get an error, but in the browser it's about 2700.  In the second part of the test we perform a GC on exit from every invocation of test() and that's what's causing this to take so long.

This patch changes the test to only GC when we hit the recursion limit.  I think this preserves the original behaviour of the test which was to trace everything when hit the limit.  This also means we can re-enable the test everywhere.
