Run code:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var a []interface{}
    a = make([]interface{}, 0, 10)
    a = append(a,
        append(a, 2, 3, 4),
        append(a, 5, 6, 7),
        append(a, 8, 9, 10),
        append(a, 11, 12, 13))
    fmt.Println(a)
}

error:

I think error should return error of println (or add to the documentation of the stack overflow in fmt)

This is #8241 and this behaviour is documented

Infinite recursion can also be triggered by self-referential data structures, such as a slice that contains itself as an element, if that type has a String method. Such pathologies are rare, however, and the package does not protect against them.
