23.0.50; can't debug `message'

[Eric M. Ludlam]

I was trying to figure out where a stray output message was coming
from, so I tried:

M-x debug-on-entry RET message RET

but sadly, this put Emacs into a state where I couldn't do anything,
and I had to kill it because it kept exceeding it's stack depth.
