I have found the culprit function, in ident.ml:

let rec find_same id = function
    Empty ->
      DEBUG;
      raise Not_found
  | Node(l, k, r, _) ->
    DEBUG;
      let c = compare id.name k.ident.name in
      DEBUG;
      if c = 0 then (DEBUG;
        if id.stamp = k.ident.stamp
        then (DEBUG;k.data)
        else (DEBUG; find_stamp id.stamp k.previous)
      )else(DEBUG;
        find_same id (if c < 0 then l else r))

"let c = compare id.name k.ident.name in" gets stuck in an infinite
loop, so it seems we have a structure with a loop in it... is that
correct?

I can't think what else would cause it to not reach the DEBUG
statement after it.

Now begs the question: what the hell is going on? First no symbols
defined automatically from Pervasives, now Ident module is broken???
