Synopsis: Attribute with body `Result := Current' causes apparent infinite compiler recursion

Description
A class with an attribute

        s: like Current
                attribute
                        Result := Current
                end

causes the compiler to go into (apparent) infinite recursion and run out of
stack space.  I compiled in void-safe mode.
To Reproduce
Compile with attached class and config file.  Compiler eats memory until there
is no more.

Fixed in rev#76624.
However the compiler reports a VEVI error for the reattachment Result := Current, because the attribute s is not initialized at that point and this happens inside the body of the attribute.
The test is modified to reflect this behaviour.
