    fix PR 17106

    This fixes PR 17106, a regression in printing.

    The bug is that resolve_dynamic_type follows struct members and
    references, but doesn't consider the possibility of infinite
    recursion.

    This patch fixes the problem by limiting reference following to the
    topmost layer of calls -- that is, reference-typed struct members are
    never considered as being VLAs.

    Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.
    New test case included.
