Bug in test runs with SpecialFunctions, DoubleFloats and Requires

[mfherbst]

First off: I encountered strange behaviour when using DoubleFloats and Requires v1.0 in one of my projects and I suspect it could have something to do with Requires. If that's not the case, I am very happy for further hints how to find the root cause of the issue.

I boiled the problem down to a small example repository https://github.com/mfherbst/BugRequiresDoubleFloat with the test project Tester. The Tester project depends on Requires and SpecialFunctions. When I run

] activate .
] test Tester

as I would test such a project, the test fails with a StackOverflowError occurring in this line, a file which is conditionally loaded by Requires indirectly from the __init__ of DoubleFloats.

However, if I remove the dependency on Requires from Tester via ] rm Requires the tests pass. Also in either case (with the dependency on Requires and without) a bare include of the runtests.jl in the activated environment of Tester from the julia shell works and passes all the tests.

Thanks for any ideas how to debug this further ...

By the way ... downgrading to Requires v0.5.2 also works around the problem.

Seems to be fixed now.
