15.7 is quite outdated, please upgrade to the latest minor version.

That said, I don't see any changes between 15.7 and 15.13 in the 
relevant code, so it probably won't make a difference. You're missing 
out on a bunch of other important fixes though.

Weird, there is a stack-depth check in expression_tree_walker() which 
should turn this into a graceful error.

Can you create a self-contained SQL script to reproduce this, and post 
it on this thread with reply-all, please?
