The code:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var a = make(map[int]interface{})
    a[1] = a
    fmt.Printf("%#v", a)
}

Error message:

I think fmt.Printf() can learn from reflect.DeepEqual(), use a make(map[visit]bool) to avoid infinite loop on nested data.

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.
