The infinite recursion has been corrected for all four modules.

Tests now pass for CGI-Application, Devel-TrackSIG and Class-Std.

The t/11_logger.t test for Object-Lazy still fails due to a race in its
code, which I've reported with a fix as
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87867.

I'll close this in a few days unless there's further activity.
