Always by expanding opaque types:
Either lookup_symbol_aux_quick:
error (_("\
Internal: %s symbol `%s' found in %s psymtab but not in symtab.\n\
which is not completely correct but it was commonly happenning and it still
may happen.
Or just RETURN_QUIT from new CUs being expanded
...->dwarf2_compute_name->c_print_type->... (there some QUIT; statements).
